Chapter 81

Xue Renguo and Xue Renyue held their swords in their hands like two pillars of gods, standing behind Xue Ju, with their mouths pursed and eyes wide open, sizing up every face here with vigilance.

Xue Ju sat in the commander-in-chief, cleared his throat, and brought out the counter-words that had been brewed long ago: "Everyone, the current emperor Yang Guang is fatuous, cruel, and has been called the 'king of six shorts'. After that, regardless of the common people in the world, increased corvees and taxes, large-scale construction projects, and the appointment of treacherous craftsmen, caused corrupt officials to run rampant, and made the people miserable.

Not to mention, our Jincheng area has been hit by disasters year after year. These corrupt officials have no one to open a warehouse to provide relief. Instead, they have intensified and forced civilians to build the Great Wall. Returnees, more than ten million?

Now, Yang Yong, the abandoned prince of the former dynasty, was persecuted innocently. He raised the uprising flag in Gaolan Mountain, and the common people gathered one after another.After these two days of investigation by the old man, Yang Yong is the true son of heaven, he loves the people like a son, and his righteousness is as high as the sky, and he has gathered a hundred thousand people in just a few days.The general protects the master, the handsome bird climbs the high branch, and the one who knows the current affairs is the hero. The old man and more than 1000 brothers under his command have already joined him.The lord's [-] army is ready to go, and when the heavenly soldiers arrive, the small Jincheng County, which is a tiny place, is bound to be the same.

My lord is wise, I will give you a chance today.Xue Mou was ordered to gather everyone without it, and he wanted to ask for your opinions. If anyone is willing to follow my Xue Mou to help Bao Mingjun, I, Xue Mou, welcome you on behalf of the lord Yang Yong.If there are people who are ignorant of current affairs, Xue will not force him, so please do it yourself. After finishing speaking, Xue Ju looked at everyone's reactions.

As soon as Xue Ju's words fell, those who had been instigated for a long time took the lead to kneel down and said in unison: "I am willing to follow the general and swear allegiance to the lord to the death."

There are no idiots here, and I already understood that this is coercion and rebellion.Don't look at Xue Ju's good words, those who don't like it don't force it, please do it yourself, the Xue family father and son don't rub the sand in their eyes, and the swords and axes outside the door are swaying back and forth at the door. Take five steps away.Therefore, they knelt down one after another, expressing their willingness to swear to die.

But there were a few who hesitated for a moment, and when Xue Renguo and Xue Renyue saw them, they yelled, dozens of knives and axes outside the tent rushed in like wolves and tigers, pushed these generals out, clicked There was a sound, the heads were chopped off, and some soldiers came to the tent with a few bloody heads on trays, and all the generals looked at them without changing their expressions.

He was still alive just now, but his head was chopped off in the blink of an eye, all the generals saw the bloody head, grinning, all of them changed color, they quickly kowtowed and tried to figure it out, unanimously expressing their willingness to see the general follow suit.

If the officials are settled, the infantry and knights will naturally be fine, and the soldiers will follow the wind.

Xue Ju was overjoyed, and reorganized the [-] soldiers and horses overnight, such as switching positions and disrupting the original order. Now the [-] soldiers and horses are firmly in his hands, and these things have been busy until It's dark.

Then Xue Ju began to divide the troops and send generals, let his confidant general Wu Shouren lead [-] troops to protect the old and the young of the Xue family, and kill trespassers without mercy; let the eldest son Xue Renguo lead [-] troops to be responsible for setting fire to the top of the city in the middle of the night and seizing the east gate. , to welcome Yang Yong into the city, and then wiped out the guards at the south gate; asked his second son Xue Renyue to lead five hundred troops to capture the west gate; The strongest defender of the North City Gate.

In the end, Xue Ju ordered that all soldiers and horses act in unison, those who surrender will not die, and those who resist or escape will be killed!It is still early before the third watch, and the soldiers of the three armies can rest in place, and those who leak military information will be killed!

"Promise!" All the generals agreed and dispersed after taking orders.

Someone had already reported to Zhao Kaibing that Xue Ju had not sent troops today.Zhao Kai also felt strange, thinking, it was too late last night, it is understandable that no troops were sent out, why didn't they go out during the day?His eldest son was trapped in the mountains, why was he not in a hurry, so he sent someone to find out what happened.

Xue Ju told the visitor to send a message to Mr. Zhao, saying that he was dividing troops and sending generals, arranging troops, and practicing the method of breaking thieves.

Zhao Kai was half-believing and dubious, and wanted to order someone to investigate further. His staff saluted and said: "My lord, the son of Xue Ju is trapped in the mountain. He is not in a hurry. Why should we be in a hurry?" Zhao Kai was also happy when he heard it. , so give up.

Time is fast and fast, and the third watch will arrive in the blink of an eye.Xue Renguo led five hundred soldiers in the name of going out of the city to catch thieves, and when they arrived near the east gate, Xue Renguo suddenly led some soldiers to the top of the city, set fire to signal, and another part of the army rushed to the city gate, driving away the soldiers guarding the gate. , the city gate is wide open.

Only then did the hundreds of soldiers guarding the city gate react, and the two sides fought together, but these soldiers were attacked from the front and back, and Yang Yong was invincible with a single gun, so he was quickly defeated. Da Yong defeated and fled, but was beheaded by Xue Renguo who was oncoming.

The Sui soldiers and generals behind Yuhe were frightened, and Xue Renguo shouted loudly: "The emperor has no way, corrupt officials are rampant, our Xue family and his son have rebelled, and those who surrender will not die!" , One after another knelt down and threw their weapons and asked to surrender.

At this time, Yang Yong led the team to kill, and the young general Du Yi stayed by his side. It turned out that the young Du Yi was already full of enthusiasm. When he saw Yang Yong went in, he couldn't wait to lead ten volunteers without stopping for 2 minutes. Followed into the city.

Seeing Yang Yong, Xue Renguo quickly dismounted and knelt down to salute.Yang Yong was overjoyed, and after he helped Xue Renguo up, Xue Renguo explained his father's arrangement and the situation in the city. The army killed to the south gate.

Zhang Yu, the guard at the south gate, had just received a report that there was a fight at the east gate. He didn't know what was going on, so he quickly dressed up, mounted his horse with his gun, gathered his soldiers, lit all the torches, and surrounded the archers, waiting in full force at the gate.At this moment, Yang Yong's troops arrived.

Zhang Yu doesn't recognize Yang Yong, but he recognizes Xue Renguo, because last night he personally took Xue Renguo's "remnant soldiers" into the city, and now he has brought his troops here. Don't ask if their father and son rebelled, and he fell into their trap treachery.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu became angry from embarrassment, and scolded Xue Renguo for his shame and morality, and his treason.

Xue Renguo didn't argue with him, he raised his halberd and rushed over, and Yang Yong and Du Yi led the army to also charge over.

Zhang Yu saw that the opponent was approaching fiercely, so he quickly ordered to release the arrows. In an instant, the arrows were like flying locusts, and Yang Yong's soldiers hit countless arrows.

Yang Yonghuo charged forward, cursing and charging forward. He was in the middle, with Xue Renguo on the left and Du Yi on the right. The three of them rode forward while dialing Diao Ling.Like three fierce tigers, rushing into the enemy group in the blink of an eye, the opponent's archers couldn't dodge it in time, and were killed all over the place, only to be killed, and the blood rained. How could these Sui soldiers and Sui generals resist it? I only hate my parents for losing two legs and fleeing one after another.

The chief general Zhang Yu couldn't hold back his shouts, and his command was ineffective, so he rode his horse to fight in person, just in time to meet the little hero Du Yi.When the two of them fought, Du Yi yelled and split Zhang Yu in half.After the main general died, his soldiers ran more happily.

Yang Yong and Xue Renguo ordered the soldiers to shout in unison: "The one who surrenders will not die!"

Those Sui soldiers and Sui generals who hadn't run away, seeing that the situation was over, hurriedly threw away their weapons, knelt down and begged to surrender, and the fight at the south gate ended within half an hour.

Yang Yong ordered Du Yi to lead an army of [-] to guard the southern city, and took care of the prisoners. Then he and Xue Renguo led the army to the county guard's mansion to meet Xue Ju.

At this time, the city had already been slaughtered in chaos, shouts of killing were everywhere, and flames were everywhere.The common people closed their doors and closed their houses, and they were so frightened that no one dared to come out.

When Yang Yong and the others arrived at the Sheriff's Mansion, they were in a mess, with corpses and flames everywhere.

They led people to rush into the mansion to search, but there was no one there. Xue Renguo had sharp eyes and found the dead body of Sheriff Zhao Kai in a bedroom.This shows that Xue Ju has already succeeded, and the two discussed and led the army to the north city gate.

When Yang Yong and Xue Renguo rushed to the North City Gate with their troops, Xue Juzheng and the two guards Xia Houji and Xia Houba at the North City Gate fought inextricably.

It turned out that the Xia Hou brothers were two brothers, and they were also two fierce generals. They never accepted Xue's father and son. They played two against one and Xue Ju for thirty rounds without a result.At this moment, Yang Yong and Xue Renguo arrived.

"Every man, what kind of a hero is two-on-one?"

"Xiahou junior, don't hurt my father!"

The two shouted, charged forward with guns and halberds, and changed from two-on-one to three-on-two, and they were far from opponents in one-on-one.This time Brother Xiahou was completely defeated. After a while, Yang Yong speared Tao Xiahouba. Xia Houji was startled, and Xue Ju chopped off his head with a halberd.

The main general had no fighting spirit when he died, so these generals of the Sui Dynasty fled and surrendered, and the battle ended within 10 minutes.

Xue Ju got off his horse to give Yang Yong a big gift, but Yang Yong stopped him and said some polite words. They flew on their horses and led their soldiers to the west gate. When they arrived, the battle at the west gate was over.Xue Renyue killed the guard Yin Hong who begged to surrender, and led his troops to take over the west gate.

After Xue Ju learned about it, he severely reprimanded his son, tied up his second son and asked Yang Yong to let him go.Yang Yong also felt that Xue Renyue was too cruel, he could kill people without nodding his head, and you didn't allow him to surrender when he asked for surrender. You had to kill him, which was too much, but the Xue family's father and son made a lot of contributions, and killing him is not a history A celebrity, but an unknown junior, the Xue family father and son just came to vote, Yang Yong couldn't say anything else, so he comforted Xue Renyue with a few words, and untied Xue Renyue himself.

So far, Yang Yong's rebel army has completely occupied Jincheng County. Later, Xue's father and son learned that Yang Yong only brought a hundred volunteers to participate in the battle, but left half of them to guard the cottage, and there were few casualties. courage.

From the third watch to the end of the fourth watch, it took only one hour to win Jincheng County, which is also a miracle.

Yang Yong and Xue's father and son were happy, and hurriedly ordered people to clean up the battlefield.Yang Yong especially urged that no one should be enmity after death. No matter if it is the enemy or us, all the corpses will be cleaned and buried, but the corpses of his brothers will be wrapped in coffins after remembering their names, while those of Sui soldiers and Sui generals will be buried in mass graves. .

Then, Yang Yong ordered these captives to be brought over. This time, there were more than 800 captives. Yang Yong told them that if they were willing to follow him, they would be paid as usual, and those who were not willing to sneak back home.But if he joins the Sui army to fight against the rebels again, he will be killed if he is caught.

Except for more than 200 people who did not want to be soldiers, most of them were willing to stay. In addition to Xue Ju's [-] soldiers, excluding those who died in the battle, a total of more than [-] Sui soldiers and Sui generals were recruited in this battle.Has been busy until daylight, the battle is completely over.

After taking Jincheng County, Yang Yong ordered Gong Yechang to withdraw all the rebels and hundreds of people from the cottage into the city, and temporarily keep the cottage.

When it was time to discuss meritorious deeds and rewards, Yang Yong stood up from the top spot and helped Xue Ju up to worship, but Xue Ju was frightened, knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Yong: "Your Majesty, you must never force me to do so." , can kill Xue Mou! The lord has a body of gold and jade, and the blood of the royal family flows from his body, but Xue Mou is a reckless person, how dare he make a mistake? Xue Mou has a clear master, and he is willing to lead the horse and fall for the lord."

Yang Yong was very moved, and quickly helped Xue Ju up. At the same time, he was thankful that he was still a little scared, and said, Brother Yong, you can just click it. It’s okay to let it go, don’t be too persistent.He has been proclaimed emperor in history, if he just agreed to take the top spot just now, where will his position be placed?In order to overthrow the faint ruler, kill the traitors, and save the common people in the Sui Dynasty, one cannot be controlled by others, but must be the "top leader". Isn't the lesson of the King of Han not profound enough?
Thinking of this, Yang Yong sat on the "leader" in a majestic manner, and then rewarded him according to his merits. Of course, he won Jincheng County. The pensions for the dead and wounded brothers were strictly honored, and then a big banquet was held to reward the three armies, and congratulated for a whole day.

After the banquet was over, Xue Ju returned to the tent. Just as he was about to rest, his two sons came in from outside. Xue Renguo saw that there were no outsiders, and stepped in to salute: "Father, you have a high ambition. You want to be literary, you want to be martial, You have never liked to be controlled by others, these corrupt officials do not know people, you have been subdued by them for half your life, now that you have finally made up your mind to take this step, why are you willing to submit to Yang Yong?"

Xue Renyue also chimed in: "Yes, father, what elder brother said is not unreasonable. In terms of merit, you are the greatest, and in terms of martial arts, you are not inferior to Yang Yong. In terms of military strength, we have thousands of people, and Yang Yong only has two hundred soldiers." , similar to the Huazi team. He stands up and abdicates, you should do your part, why do you refuse? Yang Yong is just an abandoned prince from the previous dynasty. Even his own brother wants to kill him and drive him to nowhere. You can see that he is in despair What happened? He ran to us, we saved him, he should be grateful to you and support you as king, why do you still use him as a dish?"

Xue Ju shook his head repeatedly after hearing what his two sons said: "What do you two know? Do you still remember Dong Zhuo and Cao Aman back then?" Hearing what the two sons said, Xue Ju didn't answer directly, but calmly He asked with a smile.

Both Xue Renguo and Xue Renyue are not stupid, especially Xue Renguo, whose martial arts and martial arts are deeply taught by Xue Ju, and he suddenly realized after hearing his father's words.
