The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 136 Huzhou Negotiations

Yang Yong pulled the two of them up to comfort him and said, "Two generals, don't worry, your enmity is the enmity of me, Yang Yong, and the enmity of our brothers in the rebel army. Your gang's kindness to the rebel army is as great as a mountain, and I, Yang Yong, will definitely lead the brothers To avenge brother Lu. But the situation in front of us must be calm, we are surrounded by enemies, let us think of a way."

Due to these changes, the plan to move to Shaanxi to invite Li Jing had to be temporarily shelved.Yang Yong asked the generals again, the Turkic army was overwhelming, Xue Ju's 10 troops were besieged in the city, and the isolated city of Huzhou was only [-] soldiers and horses. It was obvious that Yang Yong's troops were in desperation.Either stick to Huzhou City and live with Huzhou City, or abandon the people and lead the crowd to break through. There is no good strategy other than this.

Turning Yang Yong around in a hurry, seeing Yang Yong's anxiety, Chang Gongye saluted again: "My lord, before the Turkic Tartars arrive, you should make a decision quickly and lead your troops to break out of the encirclement. If it is too late, it will be too late."

Yang Yong said: "Brother Gongye, we can break out of the siege, but what about the people in the city? It would be fine if Xue Ju's soldiers and horses occupied the city, but if Huzhou fell into the hands of the Turkic Tartars, they would have to slaughter the city. Yang I just made an oath in public that I would never leave the people alone to flee for their lives or enjoy themselves, isn’t that self-defeating?”

"My lord, the situation is forcing me to stop worrying so much. I believe the common people will understand us. If we don't leave now, are we going to sit in the city with the common people and wait to die? That will only cost us our lives. We will break out of the siege, and we will die in the future." Killing them back to avenge the common people would not be considered unrighteous."

"Yes, my lord, General Gongye is right, the matter is urgent, please make a decision quickly." The rest of the generals also echoed, this time they all agreed that Yang Yong should lead everyone out of the encirclement.

"Let me think about it again..." Yang Yong was really troubled, did God want to trap me in injustice?Are you really going to force Lao Tzu to live up to his words and leave the people behind to run for their own lives?
Yang Yong thought about it and suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "Yes! Brother Gongye, everyone, the Turkic Tartars came to kill not only me, Yang Yong, but also their Xue family father and son. To put it bluntly, they are sweepers and our rebels , the purpose is to attack the city and land, and everything else is an excuse. Therefore, we can cooperate with Xue Ju and fight the enemy together."

"Ah?...Cooperate with the old thief?" After hearing this, Chang Gongye and the generals thought to themselves, my lord, you are in a hurry, right? , Fight as you say, fight as you say, cooperate as you say, and you can't wait for the other party to be destroyed immediately and then quickly. How can it be possible to cooperate?
Du Yi was puzzled and said: "Master, cooperate with the Xue family and his son? We are mortal enemies. Even if we are willing, how can they agree? It is impossible."

All the generals also shook their heads, and Yang Yong tried his best to say: "How is that impossible? We are all rebels, and the Turks and Tartars are our common enemy. This is the basis of cooperation. Although we have wars, it is within our rebels. Enmity and quarrels, brother Ni defends against his humiliation outside the wall, put aside disputes, share hatred with the enemy, don't they understand the truth? Unless Xue's father and son are ****, they don't want to do this!"

Gong Yechang thought for a while and saluted: "My lord's whimsical ideas are very creative. If we can really fight against the enemy together, we have such a large territory and 10,000+ troops, so we don't have to be afraid of Murong Shunhe." Turkic Tartars. After driving them away, we will settle accounts between our two families. You can try this without delay. You can write a letter, and you will eventually be willing to be a lobbyist in Xueju camp."

"No. Brother Gongye, this matter must be handled by the younger brother himself. Only by showing sincerity can he impress the Xue family and his son." Yang Yongxin said that Brother Gongye is brave and resourceful, but this advanced strategic theory of the twentieth century, Brother Gongye Without my familiarity, if the negotiation fails or the Xue family father and son are not so high-minded, wouldn't I send Brother Gongye to the tiger and wolf den?It is most suitable for me to do this by myself. If this way is blocked, I will go all out. With my Luo family gun skills, I can kill them all regardless of the consequences.

"My lord, don't!" Upon hearing that Yang Yong was going to Xue Ju's camp to negotiate in person, all the generals were blown up. Du Yi was the first to kneel down and make a speech, "Master, this is too dangerous! The Xue family, father and son, Hulang, My lord will be harmed if I go here, please take back your order. If you really can't think of a way to defeat the enemy, and you really don't want to leave the people in the city behind, we would rather defend the city with you, and live and die with Huzhou City, than allow You risk your life."

As soon as this remark came out, all the generals echoed Du Yi one after another.

Yang Yong pulled him up, looked at the generals and said: "Little brothers, everyone, I, Yang Yong, did not act bravely. We are a volunteer army, we can't just think about our own safety, otherwise what would this 'righteousness' do?" Explanation? Right now, our more than 1 brothers and hundreds of thousands of people in the city are in desperate situations. We can't just think about our own safety. I believe I will succeed.

As for danger, in this troubled world, where is there no danger?Ever since we embarked on this road, danger has been with us. Like everyone else, I have never been afraid of danger. There is no safety without danger. Only when the danger is eliminated can there be safety.Back then, Zhuge Liang crossed the river in a flat boat, fighting all the Confucians alone, and Guan Yunchang went to the meeting alone, which one is not dangerous?I, Yang Yong, dare not compare myself to the ancients, but I once went to a banquet alone, so why are the Xue family father and son afraid? ! "

Cai Huan said politely: "My lord's words are wrong. Kong Ming's tongue war against the Confucians, and Yun Chang went to the meeting alone. These are all legends. One moment and another moment! Forgive Cai's blunt words..." When Cai Huan said this, he glanced at Sangmu next to him Da and Barre continued, "My lord went to a banquet outside the city of Yanzhou alone, kissed and engaged Princess Tugu, and formed a good relationship for a hundred years. Turning a war into a treasure is a good story. It is because you two are in love, and, no It is said that we have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the city, and there are 1 reinforcements from General Gongye who are about to arrive outside the city. , 60 Turks and Tartars invaded, and Xue Ju’s [-] troops besieged the city. We are in a desperate situation. If you go to negotiate alone at this time, it is like seeking skins from a tiger.

"Hahaha..." After hearing Cai Huanyu's earnest words, Yang Yong laughed loudly, and then said with confidence, "General Cai, thank you for your kindness. I have made up my mind on this matter and there is no reason to change it. It's not that Yang Yong will do it alone. Please believe that Yang is an auspicious person with his own destiny, and his departure will definitely be successful, just wait for my good news! After I leave, Brother Gongye will be fully responsible for the city defense affairs of Huzhou. If there is a major event, you don’t have to wait for me. You can discuss and make a decision Just do it."

Then he said to Du Yi: "Little brother, if you are not afraid, how about the two of us going to old man Xue Ju?"

Du Yi saluted and said: "The lord is a body of gold and jade, full of arrogance, and full of courage. Du Yi has a humble life, so what is there to be afraid of? Now that the lord has decided to go, Du Yi is willing to give up his life to accompany him, even if he goes through fire and water, he will protect his life." The Lord is safe and sound."

Yang Yong patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and the matter was settled.The two of them tidied up, two of them rode in two, and they took what they used with knives, guns and equipment, and hid their sharp blades.

At this time, Xiao Meiniang also heard that Yang Yong was going to negotiate with Xue Ju Camp alone, so she ran from the back house to the former Yang Yong desperately. After saluting, she cried and threw herself into Yang Yong's arms. Yang Yong wiped away his tears and comforted him: "Fool, look at your little face crying, how ugly. It's like parting with life and death. Don't worry, brother Yong will be back soon. Be obedient and go back."

"The general must promise that this concubine will come back safely..." Xiao Meiniang broke down in tears again.

Yang Yongqiang nodded with a smile on his face, and someone helped Xiao Meiniang away who was crying like a tearful person.

Chief Gongye and the generals saw each other off, the gates of the city were opened wide, Yang Yong and Du Yi bid farewell to the generals, and they rode towards Xue Ju's camp.

After Yang Yong and Du Yi left, Commander Gongye ordered: "Gather your troops. If Xue Ju and his son dare to attack the lord in the camp, we will go out and fight him to death." At that time, Chief Gongye took the generals Cai Huan and Sang Muda in full armor, and waited to board the top of the city, watching the movement in Xue Ju's camp from a distance.

Outside Huzhou City, Xue Ju's camp stretched for dozens of miles, with tents next to each other, and he couldn't see the edge at a glance.In order to prevent Yang Yong's men and horses from breaking into the camp, the gate of the camp was covered with antlers and twigs. There were also many trenches in the camp, traps, horse traps, and archers in ambush. In short, they made a lot of preparations. Prevent Yang Yong from leading his troops to break through.

This is the fourth day for Xue Ju's troops to besiege the city. Reinforcements from all over the country have arrived again. They have collected nearly [-] people.Some advocate a strong attack, while others advocate besieging the city.

General Yan Xingben saluted and said: "Commander, what is there to discuss? With so many of us, we can forcefully attack the city. No matter how powerful Yang Yong and Gongye are, how about those few bird men in the city? Commander-in-Chief, just give the order, the last general is not talented, and I would like to take the lead."

Xue Ju nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to send an order, the reporter came in and knelt on one leg: "Report, report to the commander-in-chief that a team of about 60 people has been killed in Tugu King City, the commander-in-chief please make a decision." .”

"Ah? What are you going to say?" Xue Ju's face changed suddenly when he heard this, and the rest of the generals also stood up in shock, because everyone knew about the marriage between Yang Yong and Tuyuhun, and 60 soldiers were sent all at once. Ma, all marveled at the strength of the Tugu horse thief, this must be the aid of Yang Yong.If this is the case, it is still unknown who will win the game.At this critical moment, how can the generals not be surprised by such news of battle?

"Returning to Commander, although these troops came from Tugu King City, most of them are Turkic Tartars. They are led by the newly succeeded Khan King Murong Shun and His Highness Nianhan, the third prince of Turkic. They threatened to take revenge and leave. Huzhou is still a day away, please make a decision for the commander-in-chief." The reporter explained.

This time, the generals were even more surprised. Don't ask if they are attacking the rebels. The target is not only Yang Yong, but the whole rebels.The so-called revenge is just an excuse, and the purpose is to take the opportunity to seize the city and plunder the land.The Turkic soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and the fighting power of the Turkic Tartars is more terrifying than the Tuyuhun cavalry. Now that they have joined together and sent 60 troops, they must come from bad people. Xue Ju and all the generals are aware of this.

Xue Ju sent the reporter away and couldn't sit still. He turned around in the big tent a few times and asked the generals: "We have been tossing so hard with Yang Yong's men, and I still wonder why there has been no war in Liangzhou. Why are the Tatars so quiet? Because I was worried that they would sneak in, the old man deployed [-] elite soldiers in Liangzhou. But there has been no movement for a few days. It turns out that the Tugu horse bandits colluded with the Turkic Tartars and marched from Huzhou. It is really shocking. Unexpectedly. Everyone, what are we going to do now?"

　The second is delivered.
