211 Soldiers are coming to Liaocheng
After thinking about it again and again, Pei Renji felt that if he wanted to escape at this time, someone would have to sacrifice, and finally decided to come forward by himself, but he was strongly opposed by the brothers.
Everyone comes out of the same village, sharing difficulties and blessings, how can we sacrifice others to protect ourselves? Pei Renji patiently explained that if he didn't escape now, he would soon be sent out by Wang Shichong to fight for his use. There are quite a lot of traitors in the court, and they are criticized for their lack of merit, and if they make great achievements, some people will be jealous, so they can only escape from the tiger's mouth as soon as possible and take refuge in the Ming Lord.
No matter what Pei Renji said, everyone was determined to die and live together, but Pei Renji secretly made up his mind and deliberately created an action to assassinate Wang Shichong, and deliberately leaked it, putting all of Wang Shichong's attention on him.
That night, the wind was blowing, and Pei Renji rushed into Wang Shichong's dormitory with only more than 300 people, and after a fight, Pei Renji was stabbed to death on the spot. Wang Shichong is very disdainful of this, and it is simply impossible to deal with Lao Tzu with this little force.
However, to Wang Shichong's shock, Pei Renji attracted most of the palace guards to Wang Shichong's dormitory, while Cheng Biting Jin Qinqiong and others rushed out of the palace gate and fled, in the direction of Liyang, where Xu Maogong was guarding.
Wang Shichong was furious and immediately put Pei Renji's son Pei Xingyan to death. As mentioned earlier, in the first battle of Yanshi, Pei Xingyan was hit by several arrows in his body, and was hugged out of the camp by Cheng Yanjin with one arm, which was barely saved a life, but the arrows stabbed the key point and became a waste.
The Pei family's father and son died tragically, and the heroes of Wagang fled. This made Wang Shichong extremely annoyed and ashamed, but when he sobered up, he found that there was still a person who had not left. is willing to follow him to stay in Luoyang, this person is Shan Xiongxin.
Shan Xiongxin has a very strong relationship with Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong, especially with Xu Maogong, who is a good buddy, why did he choose to stay by Wang Shichong's side alone?
It turned out that Shan Xiongxin was also one of the leaders of the Wagang Army, but there was only one person he followed, and that was the old creditor Zhai Rang. Civil strife broke out in Wagangzhai. Li Mihuo merged with Zhai Rang, which made Shan Xiong always hold a grudge and dissatisfaction in his confidence, although he was repeatedly persuaded by Xu Maogong. reluctantly accepted the new master Li Mi, but he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart.
Shan Xiongxin wanted to break away from Li Mi more than once, but he was suffering from no good place to go, and was later arrested by Wang Shichong. Although it is not a particularly satisfactory candidate. But Wang Shichong attached great importance to him and gave him the right to fight, so after several reasons, Shan Xiongxin still chose to stay in Luoyang.
Of course, this is also a creation to make people, if Shan Xiongxin knew that Li Mi died not long after, he would definitely not stay in Luoyang at the beginning, but followed Li Tang without hesitation.
It's just that the ancients couldn't see through the future situation. When choosing, there will inevitably be an element of gambling, whether you win or lose that is the individual's creation.
"Otherwise. I'll wait to see the situation in Qizhou first, and then discuss. In the end, Xu Maogong made the decision, and the matter was put on hold for the time being.
However, Yuan Ziyan couldn't sit still, she didn't want to change history before, but seeing the people who cared about her leaving one by one, if she didn't fulfill the obligation to inform, how could she feel at ease.
According to the historical development, Wang Bo pretended to surrender, and then united with Dou Jiande to kill Yu Wenhua, which is an ironclad historical event.
"Ziyan, it's dark at night, let's rest early." Xu Maogong smiled and personally brought his wife foot washing water, and helped Yuan Ziyan sit down.
Yuan Ziyan was still in a fugue, and he didn't react until his feet touched the warm water, and exclaimed, "What are you doing?" ”
"If you're tired for a day, of course, it's to soak your feet to relieve your fatigue." Xu Maogong couldn't help but say something, so he gently washed Yuan Ziyan up, and also brought out a massage with good techniques.
To be honest, this feeling is very enjoyable, warm and comfortable, but Yuan Ziyan still pulled back his feet and said: "Mao Gong, we were friends before, and now we are husband and wife, I know you are good to me, but you don't have to be so deliberate." ”
"How can I say that it is deliberate, for me, this is a kind of happiness. Don't move, wash it right away. Xu Maogong was meticulous, wiped Yuan Ziyan clean after washing, and hugged her on the bed.
Yuan Ziyan didn't want to have any other entertainment activities, turned around and pretended to be asleep, Xu Maogong didn't force it, and gently patted her shoulders with both hands, as if coaxing a child to sleep.
Yuan Ziyan's nose was sore, she burst into tears, turned around, hugged Xu Maogong tightly, and cried profusely.
"Ziyan, I know you're worried about Qizhou. I myself am also anxious to make meritorious contributions, but if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan, and I will wait until there is conclusive news from Qizhou......"
"Don't say it, I'm just upset and want to cry for a while!" Yuan Ziyan unceremoniously interrupted Xu Maogong's words, but Xu Maogong was also obedient, really closed his mouth without saying a word, and gently patted his wife's back until she really fell asleep.
Xu Maogong almost didn't sleep all night, just kept looking at his wife's baby-like pure face, knowing that she had a lot of things hidden in her heart.
Since Yuan Ziyan didn't say it, Xu Maogong wouldn't ask questions, he confidently believed that as long as he was always good to his wife, his wife would shift all her thoughts to him. When he becomes famous, if Yuan Ziyan doesn't like palace battles, he can take her away and fly away, live in peace, and be a pair of fairy couples.
Such a beautiful picture is intoxicating, but the world is unpredictable, people's hearts are unpredictable, life is unsatisfactory, nine times out of ten, Xu Maogong and Yuan Ziyan are destined to have a bumpy emotional road.
After spending half a month calmly, things finally took a turn for the better, Dou Jiande chased Yu Wenhua and all the way, and was already in Liaocheng.
Yu Wenhua and there were only more than 10,000 people left at hand, and there were no other generals, and they relied on their younger brothers and sons to fight out of the city, but they were defeated after all, and finally had to retreat to the city and hold on.
Yu Wenhua was in a hurry, and there were several bubbles on his mouth, not to mention eating, but he even struggled to drink water, and half of his face was swollen with a toothache.
"Dou Jiande is pressing step by step, what do you think is good?" Yu Wenhua asked with a smile covering his face.
No one answered, everyone was pale, what else could they do if the battle came to this point? Either flee or surrender.
However, Dou Jiande is outside, Yu Wenhua and the family are dragging their families, and they have so many treasures, it is definitely not the best strategy to escape, and after being caught, they must die, it should be the next policy.
Surrender is the next policy, and it is possible that Dou Jiande was compassionate and spared Yu Wenhua's life. Of course, this is only a possibility, and no one can guarantee that it will be absolutely.
"Big brother, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not." Lao Sanyu said tentatively.
"What else can't be said at this time, let's say it!" Yu Wenhua said impatiently waving his hand.
"Dou Jiande was born in Buyi, and was the commander of 200 people in the army, because he later rebelled against Sui, his family was all killed, and the executor was the eldest brother's subordinates. I'm afraid it's an order from the eldest brother, right? Yu Wenshi asked.
As soon as this stubble was mentioned, Yu Wenhua was annoyed, this is something that everyone knows, Dou Jiande and himself have no common hatred, but he still defended: "At that time, he was a thief, and I killed his whole family, which is reasonable!" ”
"Yes, yes!" Yu Wenshi nodded hurriedly, and said: "The hatred is deep and cannot be resolved, so it will not work to take refuge in Dou Jiande all the way." ”
"I didn't say I wanted to take refuge in him!" Yu Wenhua was very unhappy: "What is Dou Jiande, the villain has the ambition, how can I succumb to him?" What a joke! Third, you've said a few words, what do you want to say? ”
"Big brother, now that the general trend is gone, there is little hope for a comeback. Only by relying on the big trees can there be room for survival......"
"Getting to the point!"
"Yes, yes!" Yu Wenshi plucked up his courage and said: "Big brother, you used to be an official in the same dynasty as Li Yuan, and you have some friendship, at this time, Li Tang is powerful, you can secretly send people out of the city, hand over the surrender table, and ask Li Tang to send troops to support." ”
Yu Wenhua was silent, and everyone was silent, obviously agreeing with this. But Yu Wenhua was still a little unwilling, and sighed and said: "If it's not for my stubbornness, then Li Yuan is a treacherous person." At the beginning, because of Li Tang's rumors, I didn't say bad things about him in front of the emperor. If Li Yuan also holds a grudge because of this, I am afraid that if I vote for it, although I will not die, I will not be treated favorably. ”
Everyone was silent again, Yu Wenhua and weekdays did not accumulate virtue, and no one could count on it at a critical time, but with more than 10,000 people, how long can they resist. Seven days more, three days less, and you will surely be defeated.
It seems that there is no endless road, and at this time, someone suddenly came to tell him, saying that there was a secret letter from Qizhou.
Yu Wenhua hurriedly let the messenger in, this messenger disguised himself as a common person, Qizhou, Liaocheng dialect can be spoken, no wonder he can be deceived to pass the customs.
Yu Wenhua hurriedly opened the letter, slapped his thigh with joy, and then let everyone circulate the secret letter.
"Since it's ......"
Yu Wenhua and just opened his mouth in a hurry, but the eldest son Yuwen Chengji said: "The messenger is tired all the way, go down to rest first, and wait for the response." ”
After the messenger retreated, Yuwen Chengtoe was a little breathless, and said: "Big brother, that Wang Bo intends to take refuge in me, this is a godsend, why did you hesitate?" ”
It turned out that this was the surrender letter of Wang Bo of Qizhou, which praised Yu Wenhua's resourcefulness and far-sightedness, and he was willing to surrender Qizhou to Yu Wenhua, and he was willing to be a minister, with the purpose of benefiting the people.
"Father, I'm too busy to take care of myself at this time, and it makes sense for Wang Bo to take one or two people in, but why did he take the initiative to surrender, the child really doesn't understand. lest there be deception, so the messenger withdrew. ”
Yuwen Chengji said truthfully, in fact, just now he suddenly thought of six words, the wind and clouds are rising, and they are far from thin. This is what Yuan Ziyan emphasized to Yuwen Chengji twice, Yuwen Chengji couldn't understand the meaning at the beginning, but now he suddenly realized, this Qi Bo, doesn't it refer to Qizhou Wang Bo?
Yuwen Chengji was secretly frightened, it turned out that this Yuan Ziyan really had the ability to predict the future, but it was a pity that the two parted ways and went farther and farther, but I was afraid that they would not even be able to be friends. (To be continued......)
