Chapter Ninety-Three: Lu Deng's Surrender
Because more than 100,000 battle-hardened Southern Xinjiang troops surrounded the two gates without attacking, but only fought and insulted every day, the 70,000 soldiers of the Shi Clan Alliance in Changxing City became panicked from the beginning.
Until April 26, I don't know who released the news, the Yuan family left the north, most of the scholars have given up resistance, in order to prevent the family from being uprooted by Chu Yi, they decided to surrender to the southern Xinjiang army, and countless people surrendered from the north gate and the west gate.
Chu Yi in the big village of southern Xinjiang is sitting in danger, the military advisor Xi Zhicai is sitting on the left side, and the general Wang Meng is sitting on the right side, all of them are calm, it seems that Mount Tai collapses in front, and it will not change color, Gao Shun, Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Liu Kun, Cao Zhen, Gao Lan, Dong Ju, etc. are also imposing, all of them are majestic.
"Yesterday, Lin Bin passed a letter to me, saying that in addition to Wang Lu in the court, the rest of the major family forces have also begun to warn me, if I don't speed up the unification of Tianhuang Prefecture, then I am afraid that the Tianwu Army of Tianwu Prefecture will go south." Chu Yi said to the generals under his command, the people in the tent are all descendant generals, Chu Yi does not hide it, with a thick worry in his voice, although Chu Yi has more than 200,000 horses in southern Xinjiang and the Xiao family, the top clan of Tianwu, to help, there are soldiers and food, and it seems to be thriving, but if it is really against the Tianwu army, which is also the southern Xinjiang army, the chance of winning is only fifty percent.
The north of Changxing and the northwest of Tianhuang Prefecture have not yet been pacified, and many soldiers of the Southern Xinjiang Army were born north of Changxing.
Now Xiao's money and grain are still being transported, if the Tianwu Army makes a big move, closes the road and locks the pass, and the money and food cannot be delivered, I am afraid that he will die before he can leave the army.
On the contrary, if you can break through Changxing City, all according to Tianhuangzhou, you can occupy the Huangbei Pass and other checkpoints, and when the time comes, with 200,000 southern Xinjiang troops to distribute the pass to defend it, not to mention the Tianwu army, that is, the Sichuan and Shu army of Tianyi Prefecture in the northwest will come together, and it will be enough to deal with it.
"Don't worry, my lord, although Lu Deng is talented and has an extraordinary ability to defend the city, his soldiers lack training and are difficult to use! This demoralization blow is enough, and tomorrow we can carry out a strong attack, and within ten days, we will capture Changxing City for the Lord! Xi Zhicai shook the Yunqing treasure fan in his hand, his thoughts turned quickly, thinking about all kinds of possibilities.
"The first batch of siege equipment built by the subordinate organizations has been delivered, and it will only be three or five days after calculating the time, if Lu Deng does not surrender at that time, it will not be too late to attack again." Dong Ju proposed.
Chu Yi nodded and decided on the way to deal with Lu Deng. After thinking for a moment, he commanded: "Guixing County's Beiyang Chang County, northeast of the sea, is a desolate land, its county guards are cowardly and incompetent, and now the soldiers are few and few, Jiang Gongyi is familiar with the water, both civil and military, can lead the headquarters to capture Yangchang County, reorganize the Yangchang County soldiers, and I will allocate money and food to build ships and train my Tianhuang Water Army!" General Liu Kun is brave and famous, and he can lead 5,000 men and horses to capture Cheng'an County, and then he can go straight to the northeast to attack the west gate of Tianhuang City! ”
Xi Zhicai nodded in agreement with the policy formulated by Chu Yi, Tianhuang Prefecture is not only adjacent to Tianwu in the north and Tianyi in the west, but also lives in a Jianghuai with Tianjing Tianyang, if the Tianjing Water Master crosses the river and goes down, even if Chu Yi is all based on Tianhuang, he will suffer a big loss!
Liu Kun, who was in the ranks, promised loudly, he still didn't want to give up this good opportunity to fight on the battlefield and pay homage to the prime minister! For Chu Yi's trust, he sighed in his heart.
also had his own cronies who sent letters to Zhaoyun Dazhai to give orders.
However, it is said that in Changxing City, many small troops and horses have secretly dispersed, leaving only 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and horses mainly from the Tianhuang Lu family.
Lu Deng wore a bronze helmet on his head, wore gold armor, was decent, and had an iron spear in his hand, standing on the city and looking out.
From afar, I saw Zhao Yunzhai in the middle of the first general playing "Southern Xinjiang Army General?" Jiang" word banner, thousands of soldiers, heading to the northeast; Chu Yizhai's first general played "Southern Xinjiang Army Rebellion? Liu" character banner, 5,000 soldiers, heading to the northwest.
Lu Deng's expression sank, his face was panicked, and he said to Lu Wenlong: "I have thousands of abilities in my chest, I wanted Chu Yi to attack, knowing my talent, but I didn't think that Chu Yi would capture Jiang Qin to take Yangchang, Liu Kun to capture Cheng'an, if it is broken, so that it can directly bypass Changxing and go straight to the Tianhuang City, and our army is weak and dare not go out of the city, and is trapped in Changxing, when the Tianhuang City is broken, our army's supplies are cut off, will there be no place to die?" ”
Lu Wenlong carried two guns, his face did not change, and he bowed to Lu Deng: "The southern Xinjiang army is elite, with more than 200,000 soldiers, and hundreds of generals, thinking that Chu Yi, since his debut, he first retreated from the south to the south, and then conquered the northern plains, the name of benevolence and righteousness has been passed down all over the world, and my father might as well make a decision as soon as possible. ”
Lu Deng also waited for Lu Wenlong to say this, although he had a plan in his heart, he was still silent for a long time, and finally his expression was shocked, and he said to Lu Wenlong: "There are still many people in the city who hate General Chu, and today I will set up a banquet for my father. ”
Seeing his father's serious expression, Lu Wenlong also said in a loud voice: "I will live up to my trust!" ”
That night, Lu Deng set up a banquet, delicacies, sheng reeds, and invited the heads of the family to discuss strategies.
Lu Deng is the supreme leader of the current allied forces, and several times ordered Lu Wenlong to go outside the city to meet Zhao Yun, Gao Ran and other fierce generals in southern Xinjiang.
"Now Chu Yi is powerful, with Lin Bin inside, and Zhao Yunxi is loyal to the outside, and now he has more than 200,000 elite soldiers, and his morale is like a rainbow, surrounding my city, I don't know if you have a strategy to retreat from the enemy?" After everyone had a glass of wine in front of them, Lu Deng slowly picked up the wine bottle in front of him and said to the heads of the Tianhuang Shi clan who were seated on the left and right.
Everyone was stunned, they all frowned and thought hard, their faces were full of worry, obviously there was no good plan, Lu Deng was about to attack, but he saw that the sky was desolate Zhang Jiajia advocated Xin said: "Now that our army is weak, we can only rely on the head of the Lu family, and when the order of the imperial court comes down, the head of the Lu family can be the commander of the southern Xinjiang army." ”
Lu Deng was amused in his heart, stood up, and said in a loud voice: "General Chu's benevolence and righteousness are all over the world, and his majesty is known all over the world. ”
All the heads of the family were stunned, but when they saw Lu Deng's expression unchanged, he smashed the wine bottle in his hand, only to hear a crisp sound, and shattered into the ground: "Where is Wu'er Wenlong?!" ”
"Ordered to kill the thief!"
Lu Wenlong held the Tianluo Six Shen twin guns, took a few vertical steps from the inner tent, ran to Lu Deng, and pierced Zhang Xin in front of Lu Deng with a leap, Zhang Xin's face was pale, and he pointed to what Lu Wenlong wanted to say, but Lu Wenlong pulled the gun back, stabbed him again, and the blood flew away, stabbing Zhang Xin to death and couldn't die anymore.
Outside the tent, the hundred and ten axe men listened to the order, and entered the account with a big knife in their hands, except for the family that was friendly with the Lu family, they were all slaughtered by Lu Wenlong!
Seeing that Zhang Xin was killed, Lu Deng was very determined, and ordered Lu Wenlong to subdue the private soldiers of the heads of the families, and ordered the guards to cut off the heads of the heads of the heads of the families, and first went to Chu Yi Dazhai to express his sincerity, then bathed and changed his clothes, and prepared to go out of the city and surrender.
Zhao Yun outside the city reported the letter to Chu Yi, Chu Yi got the letter, allowed him to surrender, and ordered Zhao Yun to enter the east gate of Changxing, put pressure on the troops, and then enter the city with the generals.
"Haha, why did the Lu family master come late?" Chu Yi entered Changxing, ordered people to set up a list of people, and looked at Lu Deng, who was kneeling in front of him, and said jokingly.
Lu Deng, Yuan Shao, Zheng Jie, Zhang Xin and others are all members of the Heavenly Desolate Clan, and they joined forces to prevent Chu Yi from entering the Heavenly Desolate State, and Chu Yi was still very unhappy about this.
Lu Deng's expression did not change, and he sighed: "The chief of the crime is to defend the city against the enemy, I wanted to make the lord value me, but I didn't want to risk the lord's plan, and the crime will die." ”
Chu Yi nodded, and also knew Lu Deng's ability, and said: "Lu Zijing is both civil and military, and he is good at governing and defending the palace, and today he will appoint you as a partial general, and Keri will reorganize the army, so he will join Wang Meng, Cao Chun, and Fengyun to command 30,000 mixed infantry and cavalry, and go to Yuanxian County to help Liu Chi and Honghai resist Meng Shu." ”
"I will not disappoint my lord!"
When Lu Deng saw that Chu Yi gave him the opportunity to enter the upper echelons of the Southern Xinjiang Army, he couldn't help but be moved in his heart and shouted allegiance.
Chu Yi summoned Lu Wenlong again, praised his heroism and martial arts, and generously named him a general, and saw that he had a very happy conversation with Jiang Wei, and he had the intention of hating each other, so he ordered Jiang Wei to serve under Zhao Yun and soothe Lu Wenlong, until Lu Wenlong retreated, Chu Yi picked up the latest news from Zhao Feng in Huangnan.
"Meng Huo, Meng Huo, I didn't want to fight with your barbarians, but you dare to listen to Yuan Shao's words and offend my county, I am really afraid of you in southern Xinjiang?"
