Chapter 135: Mengjin Infighting
I have to say that Li Yuanji's luck is quite back. Among the four commanders of the Central Plains, Xue Rengui, Li Jing, Chang Yuchun and Yang Ye, whether Li Yuanji encounters any of Xue Rengui, Li Jing and Yang Ye, the rogue posture he just put on can make them helpless.
It's a pity that Li Yuanji met Chang Yuchun. This famous Chang Shiwan's temper is very hot, and coupled with his background at the bottom, he doesn't know how to deal with Li Yuanji at all. If Li Yuanji doesn't do things obediently, then fight until he is willing to obey.
Li Yuanji was dragged aside by Chang Yuchun's personal soldiers and tortured with a cane, and at the beginning he scolded endlessly, constantly greeting Chang Yuchun's whole family.
After thirty military sticks, Li Yuanji only knew that crying dad and screaming mother in pain. When it was time for the fifty military sticks, Li Yuanji finally couldn't hold it anymore, and shouted hoarsely: "Don't fight, I'll write, can't I write!" ”
Chang Yuchun looked at Li Yuanji and sneered when he heard this, "Wouldn't it be okay to do this earlier, so as not to suffer from flesh and skin." ”
Not long after, a few pro-soldiers presented the letter of persuasion written by Li Yuanji to Chang Yuchun.
Li Siye, who had just come over, reminded Chang Yuchun with some doubts: "General, although Li Yuanji's status is noble, there are still 30,000 main forces of the Tang Army in the city, and I want them to surrender without a fight just by relying on a letter from Li Yuanji, and the last general feels that this is not realistic!" ”
Chang Yuchun said: "Of course I know that the Tang army will not surrender easily, but I don't send someone to send a letter of persuasion to surrender, and I don't simply send a letter!" ”
Li Siye asked puzzledly, "What does this mean, general?" ”
Chang Yuchun smiled slightly: "General Li doesn't need to ask more, you will know soon." ”
。。。。。。。。。。
Half an hour later, dozens of Tang prisoners of war returned to Mengjin City with Li Yuanji's letter of persuasion and handed over the letters to Li Linfu and Zhang Jun who remained in the city.
After reading the letter, Zhang Jun immediately shook his head and said loudly: "No, this is absolutely not good. The 30,000-strong army surrendered to the enemy without fighting, and where is the prestige of my Tang Dynasty? ”
Li Linfu smiled helplessly: "General Zhang, His Royal Highness King Qi is His Majesty's son and son, and the commander of the army. If he has a case, even if we save these 30,000 troops, Your Majesty will not let us have a good time! ”
Zhang Jun also smiled bitterly: "But if you give 30,000 elites to the Sui army as prisoners before the first battle, won't Your Majesty settle accounts with us after the autumn?" His Royal Highness King Qi is His Majesty's biological son, and the tiger poison does not eat children! In the end, we must be the scapegoats. ”
After a pause, Zhang Jun suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't do it, I will simply surrender to the Sui army!" ”
Li Linfu shook his head and said, "Maybe you and I can indeed escape with our lives, but you and my family are all in Chang'an!" ”
Zhang Jun said with a little hesitation: "If the crime is not as good as the family, Your Majesty shouldn't be so ruthless, right?" ”
Li Linfu sneered: "Although I am from the Li family, after all, I have been under the same roof as our majesty. I still think I know a lot about him. He is a generous man on the surface, but in fact he is narrow-minded. If you and I betray him, he will definitely be quiet on the surface, but in private he will definitely do it to our family. Accidental fire, robbers ransacked the door, used all kinds of means to kill our old and young, and dissociated themselves from him. ”
Zhang Jun's eyes widened, looked at Li Linfu and said, "Master Li, you... Is everything you say true? Is Your Majesty really so insidious? ”
Li Linfu snorted coldly: "Back then, he was never close to women in Taiyuan. But look at now, how many concubines and how many heirs has he added in just a few years since he ascended the throne? This man's ability to do superficial work is not ordinary, so don't be fooled by his charity illusion! I dare to assert that if you really dare to submit to the Sui army, you will never want to see your children in your life. ”
Zhang Jun frowned, "Left is not good, right is not good, so what should I do?" ”
Li Linfu also frowned, and only took a deep breath for a long time and said: "I think it is better to invite General Li Shiji back, he is the deputy commander of the army, and he should be in charge at this time!" ”
Zhang Jun understood that Li Linfu wanted to push him to the front when he invited Li Shiji back, and no matter what the situation was, someone would be in front of them, so he immediately nodded and wanted to say yes.
"General Zhang, Master Li, something is wrong."
At this moment, Zhang Jun's lieutenant general hurriedly broke in, and said breathlessly: "General Zhang, disaster is wrong." The troops coming from Liyang suddenly mutinied! ”
"What? How could something like this happen all of a sudden? ”
Zhang Jun was so shocked that he stood up and looked at the deputy general in front of him with a shocked expression.
"Kill, capture Zhang Jun alive, capture Li Linfu alive!"
At this moment, an earth-shattering shout of killing sounded outside the door. The gate was suddenly slammed open, and hundreds of soldiers dressed in Tang Army uniforms rushed in and surrounded the main hall of the Shuai Mansion.
"Song Jian, Gu Yuan, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Jun recognized the two leaders as Li Shiji's two henchmen. Immediately shouted and asked.
Song Jian, who was tall and tall, had no fear on his face when he heard this, and responded loudly: "Zhang Jun, you don't pretend to be big in front of Lao Tzu, don't think that I don't know that you are planning to surrender to the Sui army in order to save Li Yuanji's life." Surrender to the Sui army? Hum. Our brothers in Wagangzhai will never agree."
"Bastard!" Zhang Jun pulled out his sword from the sheath, pointed at Song Jian and scolded: "Is the name of His Royal Highness the King of Qi a name that you, a partial general, can call?" You are now the Tang Army, not the bandits of Wagangzhai, you can do whatever you want, and everything should follow the orders of the commander. ”
Gu Yuan sneered when he heard this: "It seems that what the Tang Jun brothers who came back said is true, you really plan to surrender Sui Gou!" ”
When Zhang Jun heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Brother who came back?" Is it the messenger who has just been released by the Sui army? What did they tell you? ”
Gu Yuan looked at Zhang Jun coldly, "What are you pretending, Li Yuanji's life is golden, but isn't the life of our brother from Wagangzhai a life?" Why should we exchange our lives for Li Yuanji's life? ”
"Damn, these released prisoners of war should have been properly examined just now, they must have surrendered to the Sui army and spread rumors and chaos in the army!"
Zhang Jun already understood what was going on, and immediately shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be deceived, those people must have surrendered to the Sui army and become the inner part of the Sui army... ”
Before Zhang Jun finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded in the crowd, interrupting Zhang Jun's defense.
"Don't believe them, brethren, they didn't treat us as their own from the beginning. Li Yuanji's bullshit King Qi forced General Li Shiji away just to disrupt us and absorb us, and now they can exchange us for that Li Yuanji's hungry ghost, they will definitely agree. ”
"Yes, that's right, Zhang Jun, the dog thief, helped Li Yuanji, the **, to do evil in Mengjin, he can't believe his words!"
Song Jian roared, carried a big knife and killed it, and hundreds of soldiers behind him also rushed up like a tide.
