Chapter 36: The Siege (Part II)

Huang Zhen is indeed asleep, last night's battle, and a night of sleeplessness, he is really a little unbearable at such an age.

Li Xun saw Huang Xun's rather tired look, and he couldn't bear to wake him up for a while.

"General Huang Xu.... General Huang Zhen. ”

When the ugly man saw Huang Xuan, he immediately became excited and shouted loudly.

Huang Zhen opened his eyes, subconsciously looked at the ugly man, just woke up, his eyes were still a little cloudy, when the cloudiness in his eyes slowly dissipated, and he regained his clarity, Huang Xu's face was a little surprised, and he stood up: "Zheng Chun? How did you end up here. ”

In the thirteenth year of Guangyuan, Huang Zhi led the army to Lingnan to fight, Zheng Ze sent troops to support from the side, and the main general of the army was Zheng Chun, and the two knew each other.

"General, he is a member of the enemy army, he came to us, he must be probing the news, he was caught by us, and General Zhao Feidu ordered him to be killed."

The officer clenched his fists and explained the reason for the incident.

Li Xun frowned, this officer has a Zhao Fei on the left and a Zhao Fei on the right, where is there a yellow poem in his eyes?

Huang Qian glanced at the officer, didn't say anything, looked at Zheng Chun, nodded and said, "Since I am an old man, I should treat him politely and loosen his bonds." ”

This.....

The officer hesitated a little and didn't make any move, Li Xun rolled his eyes, drew his sword, stepped forward to cut the rope, and helped him up, Zheng Chun glanced at Li Xun gratefully.

"You go back and report to General Zhao Feidu truthfully, I have my own conclusion on how to deal with this person."

Since Huang Chen had already spoken, the officer did not dare to disobey the order, so he had to leave with his fists clenched in desperation.

"Zheng Chun, you and I are not friends or enemies, why are you here here?"

Zheng Chun clenched his fists and said, "I came alone just to see you and discuss important matters." ”

See me and discuss big things?

Huang Zhen looked at Zheng Chun and did not speak.

Zheng Chun continued: "General, you must be very puzzled, why Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang, and Huang Baichuan's 50,000 allied troops besieged you but did not attack, in fact, they..."

Before Zheng Chun finished speaking, Huang Xuan suddenly asked, "Who is guarding Yingzhou City now?" ”

There was a look of admiration in Zheng Chun's eyes: "The general is really talented, and he already has the answer in his heart." ”

"Yang Liecheng?"

"Exactly!"

Zheng Chun nodded and said: "Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang, Huang Baichuan three people in tandem, trying to Jiangnan, Zheng Ze in order to gain Yang Liecheng's support and trust, let out of Yingzhou City, now Yingzhou City has a total of 13,000 defenders, of which 3,000 soldiers are commanded by me, and the other 10,000 are led by Yang Liecheng's henchman Wang Lei, they have reached an agreement to surround you here, forcing you to ask Hong and Jiang Jiedu to make Zhao Bo'an for help, once Zhao Bo'an leads the army to come, the land of Hong and Jiang will be empty, and then Yang Liecheng's army will raid, Capture the two states of Hong and Jiang, cut off your back roads, form a joint encirclement, and wipe out all of you, and then divide the south of the Yangtze River with the four of them. ”

Listening to Zheng Chun's words, although Huang Chen's face was heavy, he was not too shocked, it was obvious that he had already thought of this possibility.

"A few days ago, I waited for 3,000 soldiers to garrison Pinghu County, the leader of the army will be Zheng Ze's henchman, I am the deputy general, your vanguard cavalry is coming, I tricked the main general to say that your army has all arrived, he panicked, the leader abandoned the city and fled, was caught up by your cavalry, I took advantage of the chaos to kill this person, just to seize military power."

Zheng Chun's attitude is very sincere, and he tells everything out of the way without reservation.

"Zheng Ze treats you well, why do you rebel against him?"

Having said all this, if Huang Xuan still doesn't understand Zheng Chun's intentions, then he is really a fool.

Zheng Chun's fists were clenched, his eyes were red, his face was full of hatred, his whole body trembled slightly because of the fierce emotion, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Yingzhou Assassin Zhao Jian, love the people like a son, honest and upright, my Zheng Chun's parents died early when I was a child, and Deen was taken in by him for me to study and practice martial arts, I don't think I look ugly, treat me as a son, and marry my only daughter to me, two months ago, Zheng Ze withheld taxes, Zhao Jian wrote several times to impeach Zheng Ze, and it was a strong resistance, leading the Yamen soldiers to block the city gate, and not allowing taxes to flow out of the city, Zheng Ze was furious, killing all nine members of his family. ”

"You have such a close relationship with Zhao Jian, why didn't Zheng Ze embarrass you and let you continue to lead the army?"

Li Xun said on the side, he was very puzzled, Zhao Jian's family was killed, why Zheng Chun, as his son-in-law, was safe and sound and continued to be reused by Zheng Ze?

"After my father-in-law died, Zheng Ze originally wanted to harm me, my wife... She chose to commit suicide and asked me to take her head to Zheng Ze, we have been married for many years, how can I not understand her thoughts? She wanted me to save my life temporarily, in order to avenge his revenge, I wanted to die and go with her, but I died like this, I was really unwilling in my heart, and finally took my wife's head, found Zheng Ze, and lied that I killed it with my own hands, plus I have a little bit of a distant relationship with Zheng Ze, and I am heartfelt to him on weekdays, Zheng Ze does not doubt him, I am very happy, let me continue to lead the army. ”

Zheng Chun bit his lip, and said the most painful thing in his heart, saying that men don't flick when they have tears, and at this moment, he couldn't help but cry out loud.

Huang Qian said: "Zheng Chun, what do you want to do, you might as well say it." ”

"I am willing to act as an internal response, open the city gate, the general can lead the troops to kill, and the big thing can be done!"

Huang Zhen was silent, he already believed in Zheng Chun, but this matter is very important, he must think twice, once he falls into the trap of the other party, the consequences are unimaginable.

Seeing that Huang Xuan was still hesitating there, Zheng Chunmeng knelt down and said in a crying voice: "General, I don't have many relatives in my family, after my wife died, now there are only two sons and one daughter left, who have been taken by me to Mo Village, which is twenty miles away, and the general can take someone to escort them back to the army as hostages." ”

After saying this, Zheng Chun kowtowed again and again: "I, Zheng Chun, am not afraid of death, but I don't take revenge, Zheng Ze is not dead, if I die, under Jiuquan, what face will I have to see my wife and father?" ”

Huang Ze's whole body was shocked, he helped Zheng Ze up, looked at him deeply, and finally nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Zheng Ze rebelled against the court and let your family die, it is really a crime that deserves death, you and I should work together to get rid of this thief." ”

Zheng Chun was overjoyed and said in a trembling voice: "The general finally believes me?" ”

"You take your children as hostages and risk death to help each other, if I still hesitate, wouldn't I be the biggest fool in the world?"

"In a few days, the rainy season will come, and if the general wants to act, he can send someone to inform him, and I will be ready."

After that, Zheng Chun took out a piece of paper and gave it to Huang Zhen, on which he drew a map of the entire defense and internal structure of Yingzhou City, with three conspicuous red dots on it, one was the location of his own residence, one was the residence of the leading generals sent by Yang Liecheng to Yingzhou, and the other was the location of the soldiers and horses.

Zheng Chun nodded heavily, turned around, and walked to the door of the tent, Zheng Chun stopped his steps and said silently: "If I die in battle, please take care of my hard-working children." ”

Huang Xuan said very seriously: "If you die, your children, I should personally raise them and let them become talents." ”

Zheng Chun turned around, hugged his fists and bowed deeply, and then strode away.
