Chapter Seventy-Two: The Count
In the afternoon of the same day, the two thieves who stole water were sent back to the west city of Shuiluocheng, and their legs were bandaged, and they looked in good spirits. The people in the city saw it, Du Yun: "Wei Jun... It seems to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. ”
As soon as he entered the city, he patted Wang Qingyun's chest and said, "My army is here just to pacify Guanzhong. In fact, all the people who surrendered everywhere had to follow their old positions, and the officials did the same, and the wine was eaten. The Metropolitan Governor has said that God has the virtue of a good life, if the emperor has to change the flag as soon as possible and belong to the king, my heavenly army will not kill a person, and he will always be the lord of Luoyang! ”
Wang Qingyun was already frightened, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved when he heard the words, but he himself was suspicious and fickle, and he lived others with himself, so how could he easily believe it? pretended to be respectful at the moment, and said, "Thank you for the good intentions of the Governor of Erzhu." Qingyun should summon the people in the city and others, discuss with the good students, and give an answer as soon as possible. ”
The envoy of the Wei army was very satisfied, and when he was leaving, he added: "The governor of the capital knows that there is a shortage of water in the city, and in order to show his sincerity, he will allow your army to go out of the city to get water, and there will be no hindrance." ”
Before the envoy left, Wang Qingyun sent a team to fetch water, as many as 500 people, and ran to Changjian to get water. Needless to say, first, because there is a real shortage of water in the city, and the big guys are about to smoke in their throats, whether they are dead or alive, they must always try; Second, naturally there is an intention to test Wei Jun.
As a result, 500 people arrived at Changjian, although there were Wei troops on the side, looking at the tiger, but they really did not move, let him wait for him to drink wildly, and returned with buckets.
In Dongcheng, Wang Qingyun made a mistake instead, muttering: "In this way, the Wei people are really willing to let me live?" Speaking of which, isn't it just a black water flag, and it's not a big deal. Looking back at this slightly sunny ground, isn't it me Wang Qingyun who has the final say? ”
"Your Majesty!" Wan Qi Daoluo was listening to the audit, and hurriedly admonished: "The Wei people are cunning, don't be gullible!" ”
Wan Qi Daoluo knew in his heart that he had already offended the Wei army, and if he really surrendered Kaicheng, even if Wang Qingyun still had a trace of vitality, he would never be spared. Because of this, for him, it was no matter how unwilling Wang Qingyun to open the city and join Wei.
"Oh? The general might as well elaborate. "Wan Qi Daoluo has a good reputation, although he was defeated this time, his performance is quite good, and Wang Qingyun still trusts what he says.
"Our army is newly defeated, trapped in a lonely city, and even the lack of water in the city is known to the Wei people... Wan Qi Daoluo pretended to groan: "At this moment, the Wei people are already as stable as Mount Tai, if you want to break the city, you can wait for a few days with peace of mind, why do you have to persuade you to surrender?" ”
"Perhaps... Maybe the Wei people came from afar and lacked food and grass, so they wanted to end the war early? ”
"Before, there was such a possibility. Now, looking at Guanzhong, the Heishui Wei flag is planted all over the place, and the orders are everywhere, the officials and the people are all obeying, and there is no hindrance. Even if the Wei army is short of food, it can be requisitioned from Gaoping or Qizhou to here, and the journey will be smooth, it will not take too long. Wan Qi Daoluo sneered: "What's more, there is too much water shortage in the city, at most it will be enough to last for three or five days." No matter how short the Wei people are in lack of food, they will last longer than us? ”
Wang Qingyun was shocked: "The general is right!" So... What is the reason for the Wei people to act like this? ”
Wan Qi Daoluo's voice was like a lonely eagle, astringent and astringent: "The Wei people are obviously worried that His Majesty will hide in the surrounding mountains, so they did this pretended to persuade him to surrender. In fact, it is to deceive Your Majesty and harm Your Majesty's life! ”
Wan Qi Daoluo was indeed very thoughtful, and with a little deduction, he guessed Erzhu Tianguang's true intentions at once. This guy is bad and bad, obviously he is the primary target of the Wei army, and he pushes all the things on Wang Qingyun.
Sure enough, Wang Qingyun was so frightened that his soul flew away, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wei thief... What a ruthless heart! If it weren't for the general's reminder, I'm afraid I wouldn't know how to die until I die. Speaking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward to hold Wan Qi Daoluo's hands, and said hurriedly: "General! Can you teach me a plan, so I can get out early? ”
"Yes!" Wan Qi Daoluo smiled: "Originally, I was still a little hesitant in my heart... Now the Wei people are smart and want to fight without blood, hehe, we can just plan it, pretend to surrender, and take the opportunity to escape! ”
"The general will talk about it carefully, and tell it carefully!" Wang Qingyun was overjoyed.
In fact, after the defeat that day, Wan Qi Daoluo knew that the West City must not be defended, so he opened the city early and fled into the mountains. The so-called hesitation in his heart means that if he takes the big road, he will inevitably be intercepted and pursued by the Wei army, and whether he can escape with his life at that time, or two words; If you choose the dangerous road to walk, it is estimated that with the identity of yourself and Wang Qingyun, the problem will not be too big, but most of the thieves will not be so fateful--- or they will trample on each other on the path and fall into the abyss, or stay in the city and be held by the Wei army...
Wan Qi Daoluo is not so kind, this is still for the sake of the minions. He just thought that he had driven all the way from the heart of Guanzhong to the ravine at the southwest foot of Longshan, and he felt a bit of a dead end.
Therefore, at this moment, Wan Qi Daoluo's plan is to pretend to surrender first, then the Wei army will inevitably relax, and then open the city at night, directly throw the road south, and drill into the reckless mountains. The Wei people found out that it would probably be after dawn on the second day, and by that time, most of them could only cry out in vain. In this way, five or six thousand soldiers and horses have survived, which is enough to run rampant in the Longnan Mountains.
Wan Qi Daoluo finished speaking in one breath, Wang Qingyun had already applauded, and agreed at the moment to act accordingly.
。。。。。。
The next day, a white flag was hung at the head of the west city of Shuiluocheng, and an arrow with a letter was fired, inviting the Wei army angels to enter the city and discuss the surrender.
Erzhu Tianguang once again sent the previous messenger into the city. Wang Qingyun crouched in front of the hall, shouted "I wish to surrender", and begged him to give him a day, and he must be ready to surrender early tomorrow morning.
The messenger was overjoyed and agreed.
