Chapter 352 Calculating the Turks

"Nope! On the contrary, the last general is more optimistic about the last one, Jinyang Zou Changfeng! Li Zhengbao shook his head and said.

"Why?" Liang Luoren asked.

"General, you said that he is just a prince, and the general will not agree with this! Don't you hear that the Son of Heaven is coerced to order the princes! He is also the prime minister now, how similar this is to Cao Cao, Emperor Wu of Wei! What's more, when it comes to strength, he is the strongest,

General, have you forgotten Liaodong? He had taken down that place, and who could control it but him? Li Zhengbao explained.

"You have a point! It's me who forgot about Liaodong! Liaodong is also bigger than our territory! The only question is whether they will accept us. Liang Luoren said lightly on his forehead.

When Li Zhengbao heard this, he immediately understood what he meant, it was not that he was worried about whether he would accept it, but because he was worried that the official position he was given would not be high enough.

"Don't worry about that! Li Yuan's son Li Yuanba is a general under him, and Qu Tutong of the Sui Dynasty is on one side! Luo Yi is still the governor of Youzhou! There are also a lot of Khitan and Xue Yantuo people, which shows that he does not reject the generals! Li Zhengbao analyzed for him.

"Makes sense! Reasonable! Liang Luoren nodded.

Li Zhengbao saw that he just nodded and didn't let go, knowing that he was embarrassed to say that he wanted an official position, so he continued: "If the general agrees, the last general can test his tone first, after all, the people over there are in the city." ”

"Hmmm! It's okay to test it and see if the other side values us! Liang Luoren nodded.

"That's good! Subordinates go for a trip in person! Be sure to ask. Li Zhengbao saw that although Liang Luoren had a straight face, he still couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, and immediately said with confidence.

"That's hard for General Li!" Liang Luoren said.

"Wait! So how to deal with the siege of the city tomorrow? Xin Lu'er asked.

"Let's just say that the siege equipment is insufficient, and it needs to be made! Stop for two days, and talk about it two days later! Liang Luoren waved his hand.

"General, what are we going to do as a greeting gift?" After Li Zhengbao got up, he suddenly remembered something and turned around and asked.

"There are 40,000 troops here, we can design and take down 30,000 Turks! Plus Diaoyin, Yan'an! Liang Luoren's eyes flashed, and he said gloomily.

He knew that the bigger the gift, the higher the official position, so he did not hesitate to show his hole cards.

"Yan'an..."Li Zhengbao looked at Liang Shidu in surprise.

"Feng Duan is my confidant! At this time, no one knows but you! Satisfied with Li Zhengbao's shock, Liang Luoren smiled proudly.

In addition to being surprised, Li Zhengbao realized that he underestimated this general, who usually only has 3,000 people in his hands to maintain law and order, but fortunately they are all sitting in the same boat now, and the stronger the teammates, the more beneficial it is to everyone.

Li Zhengbao took the news that made him excited, and secretly left the camp and went to Honghua City.

As soon as the guards heard that they had come to surrender, they immediately escorted him to see Su Dingfang.

"Diaoyin guard general Li Zhengbao has seen the general!" Li Zhengbao looked at a few people in the hall and saluted with his fists.

"General Li, please take a seat, the general Annan General Su Dingfang, I heard that the general is here to serve?" Su Dingfang returned the salute with a fist, stretched out his hand, asked Li Zhengbao to sit down, and then introduced himself.

"The general is right, he did come to serve in the next place, not only the last general, but also the general Liang Luoren, his friend Xin Lu'er, and the Yan'an guard general Feng Duan!" Li Zhengbao replied solemnly.

When Su Dingfang heard this, he couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, his pupils shrank, he took a deep breath to suppress the shock in his heart, and then looked at Li Zhengbao and asked, "What General Li said really made a certain heart!" But how can people believe such heavy conditions? ”

Seeing Su Dingfang, he was only moved for a moment, and then regained his composure, Li Zhengbao couldn't help but sigh secretly, he deserved to be the commander all the way, and it was indeed extraordinary.

"We can take down 30,000 Turks outside the city as a welcome gift! And 40,000 troops outside the city! After the general takes it, Diaoyin, Yan'an, can also send someone to receive it! Li Zhengbao knew that Su Dingfang would ask, and replied in an orderly manner.

"Good! As long as you find a way to control the Turks, let them dismount their horses! We'll take care of the rest! Su Dingfang touched his stubble and thought for a while.

Seeing Su Dingfang so confident, Li Zhengbao couldn't help but be stunned, although he didn't know where Su Dingfang's confidence came from, he still chose to listen to the order.

"General Liang Luoren, tomorrow he will suspend the attack on the grounds of lack of siege equipment, and at the end of the evening, he will gather all the Turks in the name of reward." Li Zhengbao said.

"Yes, but it's best to send someone to watch the war horse, and tell the soldiers when the time comes, no matter what movement happens, just stay where you are! Otherwise, if he was killed, don't blame Ben for being unpredictable. Su Dingfang said.

"Whoa! I don't know what kind of treatment the general gave to General Liang Luoren? Li Zhengbao clenched his fists, then hesitated, but still asked the question he was concerned about.

"It's too big an official position, I don't dare to say it, after all, it still has to be decided by the prime minister! But a certain life is guaranteed! You won't be left idle! Because the prime minister is used by quantity! With the merits of General Liang Luoren, even if he no longer leads the troops, a title will not be able to run away!

You don't know, the Turkic general He Li, Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, under the command of Dou Jiande in Hebei, is still leading the troops! Su Dingfang said solemnly.

Although Su Dingfang did not explicitly agree to their positions, Li Zhengbao also understood, after all, no general could be the master of this matter, so Su Dingfang said this, which reassured him, not to mention that Su Dingfang guaranteed his life.

Nowadays, people take promises very seriously, so there is a saying that if you can't do what you promised, then you will be despised if you spread it.

The most common is to set a marriage, as long as both parents agree, whether it is a man or a woman in the future, if you want to regret it, you will be looked down upon.

"Go ahead, and when it's arranged, I'll send someone to say it." Su Dingfang nodded and said.

"Whoa!" Li Zhengbao clenched his fists again, and then left with some doubts, he was not interested in the treatment, but he couldn't figure out how Su Dingfang controlled the Turks.

As soon as he walked out of the hall, Li Zhengbao saw the two people walking towards him, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

"General Lee! Why are you here? The visitor was also stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison.

"Zhang Ju! Congratulations! Are you all right? Li Zhengbao asked unexpectedly.

"Honestly! General Su is invincible, and for the sake of his brothers, we have to surrender. Zhang Ju said with shame on his face.

"General Li, could it be that you were also arrested?" He Sui asked curiously.

"You also know how Master Liang treats you and me, so I took the initiative to vote!" Li Zhengbao hesitated slightly, and then said.

Since it was said that the eldest brother didn't laugh at the second brother, the faces of the three of them were much more normal.

"General Zhang, you talk to General Li, I'll go and hand over the order first!" He Sui said.

"Good!" Zhang Ju nodded in agreement.

"See you General Lee!" He Sui clenched his fists, and without waiting for Li Zhengbao to agree, he immediately turned around and left in a hurry.

"What are you?" Li Zhengbao asked puzzled.

"We've just finished patrolling, and we're here to give orders!" Zhang Ju explained.

"You still lead the troops?" Li Zhengbao asked.

"That's nature! Not only us, but Brother Liu Min just took over from us! Zhang Ju replied.

When Li Zhengbao heard this, he suddenly believed in Su Dingfang's words even more, and said with a smile on his face: "It's good that you are all alive!" General Liang and I have been worried for a long time, and we all thought you were killed! ”

"It's also that we saw the opportunity early, otherwise we wouldn't have seen it." Zhang Ju smiled bitterly, thinking about those artillery and explosives, and said with palpitations.

"There's something that has been bothering me for a long time, and I haven't figured it out!" Li Zhengbao said.

"General Li, please?" Zhang Ju looked at Li Zhengbao puzzled, and stretched out his hand to signal.

"Wu Fort is so strong, and Honghua also has 50,000 soldiers and horses, why are you?" Li Zhengbao asked puzzled.

"It's hard to say about this now, because it's a secret in the army! But I can only say that we are not surrendering without a fight! General Suo Zhou, because of this, died on the spot! Zhang Ju hesitated and replied.

In fact, even if he said it, he couldn't say it clearly, after all, they had just surrendered, and it was impossible for Su Dingfang to tell them about the artillery.

When Li Zhengbao heard this, he couldn't help but think of Su Dingfang's self-confidence, and then nodded understandingly: "In this case, General Zhang don't be embarrassed, I just asked casually, and I will talk slowly in the future!" ”

"Thank you General Li for your understanding!" Zhang Ju said with a sigh of relief. He didn't want to deceive Li Zhengbao, nor did he want to divulge secrets, and Li Zhengbao didn't ask questions, which was the best.

"It's not early, it's time for me to leave, General Liang is still waiting for my news." Li Zhengbao arched his hand.

"I'll send the general!" Zhang Judao.

"There is labor!"

"General, please!"

The two politely exchanged words, and then Zhang Ju sent Li Zhengbao to the city wall and let him put it down in a hanging basket.

Li Zhengbao cautiously returned to the camp, and when Liang Luoren saw him come back, his face immediately turned happy, and he asked a little anxiously, "How is it?" ”

"Don't worry, General!" Li Zhengbao said with a smile, and then told the experience of Honghua City in detail.

"Do you think they're reliable?" Liang Luoren asked with a little disappointment. He didn't get a specific answer for a while, and he always felt uncertain.

"From the point of view of the last general, it is very reliable, after all, Zhang Ju, He Sui and they can continue to lead the troops, and General Su guarantees with his life, as long as we have no second heart, there is no worry about our lives!" Li Zhengbao replied.

Liang Luoren listened, although he was moved, but he was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether his choice was correct.

"General, the arrow is ready to fly, I have to send it, Zhang Ju and they must have brought a lot of soldiers to surrender, that is to say, Honghua City has been luring us to attack, but it is conceivable that we will definitely not be able to attack it.

If you lose your troops and go back, not only will you not have a good life for the general, but you will only have to live that kind of life without soldiers and power, general. Li Zhengbao persuaded him.

Liang Luoren nodded silently, agreed with Li Zhengbao's statement, and then gritted his teeth and said: "You are right, the arrow is on the line, I have to send it, since I took the initiative to find the door, and then regret it, wouldn't it make people look down on us!" Go ahead with your plan tomorrow! ”

"The general is wise!" Li Zhengbao breathed a sigh of relief and said that he was afraid that when things came to an end, Liang Luoren retreated, then he would not be a person inside and out.

The three of them discussed the details again, and then separated, and the next day, Liang Luoren found Zhifu Sili and said: "General Zhizhi, we are short of ladders, we need to stop for a day and let the craftsmen rush to make it!" ”

"It's... All right! "I also knew that without a cloud ladder, it would definitely not work to attack the city, so I looked at Liang Luoren and agreed.

"Thank you for your understanding! In this way, since it is impossible to attack the city today, let Li Zhengbao and Xin Lu'er lead people to defend, the general has worked hard during this time, and he will treat his clansmen at night. Liang Luoren said.

"It's okay, then it's up to you!" There is no doubt that there is him, after all, Liang Luoren is Liang Shidu's cousin, how could he never have thought that Liang Luoren would betray.

After insisting on losing his thinking and agreeing, Liang Luoren immediately called Li Zhengbao, and ordered in front of his stubborn thinking force: "General Li, you immediately lead people to defend Honghua City to prevent the enemy from sneaking attack, and let General Xin Lu'er guard against the direction of Wubao, pay attention to vigilance, and send scouts to me, within fifty miles, no wind and grass can be let go!" ”

"General, why is that? Isn't defense a Turkic thing? Li Zhengbao asked angrily.

"Shut up! What can you waste, if you can't take the siege and don't guard it? Today the general will reward the Turkic warriors, and tomorrow they will help you suppress the archers at the head of the city! Liang Luoren shouted angrily.

"Humph!" Li Zhengbao glared at the stubborn loss of thinking, snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily.

"A bunch of reckless men! Attacking a city with not many people wasted so much time! It's useless! Liang Luoren said scoldingly.

"Huh! General Liang rest assured, wait for a certain warrior to rest, tomorrow on horseback, and he can also suppress the city without an enemy. Stubbornly and confidently said.

"Haha! With the general's words, so-and-so is relieved. Otherwise, I don't know how to go back to the errand! Liang Luoren laughed.

"Hehe, it's easy to say, it's easy to say!" A hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, and he smirked.

After the small talk, Liang Luoren began to loudly order the killing of sheep and the preparation of food for the Turks.

Seeing that Liang Luoren said to do it, he was immediately very satisfied, so he asked people to notify the change of guard, and everyone went back to the camp for dinner.

Before it was dark, the camp had already lit a bonfire, and the sheep were set up, and the Turks began to talk and laugh around the campfire, talking their words, and maybe some meat jokes, anyway, a piece of birdsong and meat.

The Turks were happy, but they didn't know that all this fell in Su Dingfang's eyes, and from the telescope, he saw that the Turks had indeed returned to the camp, and the war horses were arranged by Liang Luoren to be taken to the distant river, nominally to feed water.

Of course, he didn't know that now his war horse had been taken over, and at the same time, another cavalry was slowly approaching the camp, but it didn't run, so it didn't arouse anyone's alarm.
