Chapter 115: The Desperate Eight Kings
"Who?"
"It's Lao Tzu, open the door!"
"Ahh Few... Major General, you... You guys..."
On the south wall of Gucheng, early in the morning, the rebels above were still yawning, and they found three sloppy beggars who were almost not human, and immediately shouted.
After hearing that the voice was Sun Kewang, several people on the wall were like ghosts, and their mouths opened wide in shock, but after reacting, they hurriedly ran down the city to open the door.
"Major General, didn't you go to fight Baokang? How did you get to this point? What about the other brothers? ”
", is this what you should ask?"
A small leader, looking at the three of them, looked behind him again, and asked cautiously, but was still kicked out by Sun Kewang.
"Is there anything to eat? took it out, took off his clothes and shoes, who dared to leak half a sentence about this, Lao Tzu made him worse than dead. ”
Sun Kewang saw that the people in the city had not yet gotten up, and said to a few minions with a hideous face.
Where did a few minions dare to say nothing, they all nodded hurriedly, quickly took off their clothes and shoes, and took out the flatbread that was only half eaten at supper last night.
The three of them didn't feel dirty or smelly, so they quickly put on the cake in their mouths, tidied it up again, and after feeling good about themselves, they walked towards the city with their knives.
Losing a battle is not terrible.
The terrible thing is that if you are naked and don't make a human form and flee back, you really won't be able to raise your head in the future.
When Zhang Xianzhong learned that the three righteous sons had come back alone, he was immediately shocked and rushed out without wearing clothes.
"Father..."
The two brothers were still young, their emotions were out of control, and they immediately started crying, while Sun Kewang bowed his head and knelt on the ground to explain.
After listening to the 8,000 army, the whole army was wiped out like that, and Zhang Xianzhong stumbled and almost didn't fall.
Fortunately, after experiencing a lot of strong winds and waves, he immediately stabilized his mind and asked through gritted teeth: "How many soldiers and horses did that little beast bring?" How can you storm the city so easily? What are you all doing? ”
"Father-in-law, it must be that Niu Er's bastard colluded with that little beast in advance, and then opened the city gate at night, and caught us off guard, there should be five thousand men and horses, and his little cub soldiers are equipped with firearms."
Sun Kewang gritted his teeth in the end, although he didn't know how Qin Yu entered the city, but on the way, he had already thought about it.
"It's useless, why don't you send more people to watch at night? Why didn't you find out what was going on in the neighborhood beforehand? ”
Zhang Xianzhong kicked him over, wanting to go up and smoke again, but after looking at the ghost appearance of the three people, he finally held back.
At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong's face was so black that he was about to drip ink, and he couldn't wait to swallow Qin Yusheng alive, and he also wanted to break Niu Er's corpse into ten thousand pieces.
"Father-in-law, this revenge will not be avenged, the children will be in vain, while they have not yet gained a foothold, let's immediately wave our troops to regain Baokang!"
Sun Kewang got up and said with red eyes.
"Father..."
"Big brother, you... How did you get to this point? If you lose the battle, you won't be able to..."
At this time, Li Dingguo hurriedly walked in from outside, and when he saw the appearance of the three people, he was immediately startled.
Obviously, he got the news that Sun Kewang and the three of them came back alone, so he hurried over.
Zhang Xianzhong's face was gloomy, Sun Kewang tilted his head to the side, and Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi had to explain to their second brother.
After listening.
Li Dingguo's jaw almost dropped, and he said in disbelief: "Big brother, you have brought a full army of eight thousand, how can you be Xiaoyu..."
"Second child, you don't gloat here, if you hadn't protected that little beast everywhere, Lao Tzu would have killed him with a knife, how could he be attacked this time, ah?"
Sun Kewang rushed up, twisted Li Dingguo's collar, stared at a pair of bull's eyes, and roared.
"Enough, now is not the time to talk about this, Lao Tzu was also blind at the beginning, and this account will have to be settled with him sooner or later."
Zhang Xianzhong burst into tears, and then waved his hand: "Let's talk about it, what should I do now?" ”
"Father-in-law, naturally, he waved his troops to kill him, and skinned and cramped that little beast and Niu Er."
"Yes, father-in-law, if you don't take revenge, you swear not to be a man!"
Liu Wenxiu and Ai Nengqi both said with a look of resentment.
"No, now that our strength has been almost lost by half, the left thief will definitely notice that once we cross the river, we are afraid that we will not be able to protect ourselves, and if we attack Baokang again, we will kill ourselves."
Li Dingguo hurriedly shook his head and persuaded.
"Then the second child, what do you think should be done now? The downstream is Xiangyang, the upstream is Junzhou Yunyang, and now even the retreat of Baokang is occupied by that small animal, once the left thief crosses the river to attack, I am afraid that it will not all have to be explained in Gucheng. ”
Zhang Xianzhong also calmed down at this time, and also realized the crisis they were facing.
Now, except for the 3,000 men and horses of the second child and his more than 100 horsemen and guards, most of the 7,000 men and horses of the rest of the leaders have no blades, and they are still unreliable, and they can't say when they will be secretly pulled over by that kid and Niu Er.
Sun Kewang also fell silent, he is not a fool, he was just angry just now, going to fight Baokang at this time is indeed the way to die.
"Father-in-law, didn't the surnamed Xiong issue a consummation announcement last year? I heard that in the first month of this year, I accepted the court's recruitment, so let's avoid the edge and temporarily return to the court, as long as we keep the soldiers and horses in our hands, we will go again in the future. ”
Li Dingguo thought for a moment and said, Recently, the left thieves on the other side of the bank have moved frequently, and there are obvious signs of crossing the river.
Now that the retreat has been cut off, and the soldiers have been lost, in addition to temporarily taking refuge in the imperial court, that is, to go to Xiaoyu.
But he knew that his father-in-law would not go if he was killed, his eldest brother would not, and Xiaoyu would never want it, so there was only one way to return to the imperial court.
"Well, that's feasible, anyway, those piles of gold and silver can't be spent there, it's better to take them to Xiangyang for some activities, and then let that break through the sky pull a thread from it."
This time, Sun Kewang was the first to agree with Li Dingguo's words, and nodded.
Apparently also completely calmed down.
Now he doesn't even have a single soldier under his command, so he also wants to live a stable life for a while, and then slowly take the soldiers and horses of those leaders and take them for himself.
"Hey! So far, that's all it can be. ”
Zhang Xianzhong pondered for a long time, and finally sighed.
Immediately, the five of them began to discuss, and finally decided that Sun Kewang would set off for Xiangyang tomorrow with gold, silver and jewelry.
And all the while, no one asked whether they wanted to consult the other leaders.
Obviously, after Qin Yu's departure and Niu Er's betrayal, the eight kings didn't believe anyone except their four righteous sons.
