Chapter 33 Connecting the Three Counties
The soldiers who defended the city in Beihai, who had been in good spirits early in the morning, did not wait for Meng Liu to lead the army to attack the city desperately, but received this desperate battle report, and the 10,000 elite soldiers who came to support were completely annihilated.
This made the soldiers' hearts gone, He Man wanted to intercept the battle report when he received this letter, but he had no choice but to write too many letters, and he couldn't intercept it at all, and most of the soldiers already knew about it.
He Man hurriedly rushed to the hall with the letter, and when he saw the generals and ministers with different expressions in the hall, He Man's heart chuckled, and he was a little panicked, he suspected that these people already knew the battle report.
After He Man glanced at it, he lowered his head and walked into the inner hall quickly, and when he saw Niu Wen with a haggard face, He Man thought about it and walked in.
"How did the defense of the city turn today?" Niu Wen is full of hope.
"My lord, there is no siege today." He Man really can't bear to attack the current Niu Wen.
As one of the first generals to follow Niu Wen, He Man knew very well that even at the moment of life and death, when he was surrounded and suppressed, Niu Wen had never been so haggard.
"Really? It seems that the defenders have really arrived! Niu Wen cried and laughed.
"My lord, let's take a look at this first." He Man handed over the battle report.
Niu Wen raised his head and looked at He Man's sad expression, raised his hand tremblingly and put it down, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, you can tell me directly." ”
"This morning, the enemy army fired hundreds of battle reports into the North Sea, and last night, the rescue forces of Donglai and Qi counties were all wiped out, and we have no reinforcements." He Man lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
Niu Wen's face was no longer bloody, and he fainted directly, He Man hurriedly went over to help Niu Wen up, and after a while.
Niu Wencai gradually woke up, Niu Wen sat up hard, and said in a choked voice: "Kaicheng, surrender!" ”
He Man's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Why? I will defend Beihai City to the death! ”
"You are willing, but what about the soldiers outside? Soldiers have no fighting spirit, don't increase casualties in vain! Niu Wen sighed, "Let's go out, let the soldiers defending the city open the city and surrender." ”
"This..." He Man walked out of the inner hall helplessly.
"Follow Taishou's order and surrender Kaesong." After that, He Man turned around and walked into the inner hall, but saw that Niu Wen had already killed himself, He Man knelt in front of Niu Wen's corpse and said: "He Man is unwilling to surrender to the rebels, and is willing to follow Taishou." ”
He immediately drew the sword at his waist and slashed himself.
After hearing the news of the surrender of Kaesong, most of the soldiers defending the city were overjoyed, Meng Liu led the first city, Zhang Taibai and Zhuang Ran followed, and more than 10,000 teams also followed.
The bull-shaped banner on the head of the city was replaced by Meng!
"After entering the city, if there is any violation of military discipline, you don't need to report it immediately!" Zhang Taibai said to Zhuang Ran.
"Don't worry!" Zhuang Ran nodded.
After knowing the news of Niu Wen and He Man's suicide, Meng Liu ordered the two to be buried thickly.
It took Zhang Taibai a whole day to put everything in place.
That night, Zhang Taibai found Meng Liu.
"What's wrong?" Meng Liu asked with a smile.
"Tomorrow, I will tell the world that our Taiping Sect is against Zhao and does morality! Just the people! All those who are willing to oppose the rule of the Zhao clan can join us! ”
"Not only that, but the reason why I'm in a hurry to do this is to reassure everyone, they will think that we only have one county and will be suppressed, but what if we quickly change from one county to half a state?"
Meng Liu asked, "Is there any movement from Xianliang and Wen Qian?" ”
"Tanmalai reported that Donglai Qi County was demoralized after knowing that the reinforcements were wiped out by the whole army, and the Qingzhou soldiers did not have the appearance of the year, Donglai estimated that within five days, Qi County would be able to break the city within ten days." Zhang Taibai found a place to sit down.
"After taking these three counties, how should we plan?"
"Accumulate grain and build a wall high, so that the times change!" Zhang Taibai said with a smile, "Win the land of the three counties within half a month, but after all, there is still a court here, and we must defend it!" ”
"Well, that's it!" Meng Liu responded.
The next day, Beihai changed hands, the Taiping Sect spread to the world, the world knows that the Taiping Sect Great Heavenly Master is a disciple of the Taiping Taoists, and the number of capable people and young warriors who go to Beihai is increasing day by day!
At the same time, under the city of Qi County, Li Xianliang personally supervised the siege of the city, and the prestige of the Taiping Sect spread rapidly, and he had to capture Qi County as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night.
"Brethren! Beihai has been taken by the lord! Now it's time for our lord! It's time to make contributions to the people of the world! Li Xianliang shouted loudly, "Listen to the people in the city, we are here to save the people, if you open the city and surrender, join us and build a peaceful and prosperous world together!" ”
Li Xianliang squinted his eyes and stared at the city tower, seeing that there was already some commotion on the city tower, Li Xianliang gave an order: "Attack the city!" ”
The morale of the besieging soldiers was high, and everyone wanted to make meritorious deeds and make more meritorious deeds, and wanted to be the first to occupy the city.
After a whole day of siege battles, Qi County was captured, Taishou handed over the seal, and the entire territory of Qi County was returned to the Taiping Sect!
The next day, he left Xianliang in Qi County and announced to the world that he was willing to join the Taiping Sect! This is the result of Zhang Taibai's discussion with Li Xianliang at the beginning, so that the people of the world can see the vitality of the Taiping Sect and respond to every call!
"I don't know what happened to Donglai County?" Standing at the head of the city, Li Xianliang looked in the direction of Donglai and muttered to himself.
"Don't worry, chief, you can rest assured on Wen Qian's side, he has always been reassuring in doing things." Chu Wei, one of the eighteen marshals, said with a smile.
Li Xianliang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "There is no leader now, there is only one person in our lordship, and that is Meng Liu!" You and I are at the same level, and we are just one party commander! Hugh will dare to talk nonsense again! ”
"Yes, I lost my words." Chu Wei laughed, "But our leader is too young. ”
"Young and vigorous, you can't be like that group of officials, full of sophistication, we have robbed dozens of mansions of all sizes over the years, up to a state and county guard, down to a county order, which one is not full of brains." Lixian Liang slapped the city head and said angrily!
"It is common for officials and businessmen to collude and bully the people, otherwise there would be no place for us." Chu Wei looked indifferent, "As long as I can fight, I'm very happy!" ”
"You!" Li Xianliang smiled and sighed, "Now we are waiting for the next big war, I hope we can all survive the next troubled times, and I hope that you will still be there when the amnesty finally saves the world." ”
"Don't be so sentimental, isn't it common to die in troubled times? If others can die, you can't? There is no such reason! Chu Wei smiled.
"Let's go." Li Xianliang pulled Chu Wei down the city.
Wen Qian's side encountered some obstacles, Donglai Taishou said that he was unwilling to open the city and surrender after knowing that his nephew was killed, nor was he willing to go out of the city to fight, and the repeated sieges made the soldiers on Wen Qian's side exhausted, and the grain and grass for ten days were about to be consumed.
"If you can't capture the city again, I'm afraid the Heavenly Master will come to urge." Wen Qian was very anxious.
"My lord, I have a solution." Tao Qi walked up and said.
"Say it quickly!"
"This Donglai County defender is named Zhai Feng, greedy, and very greedy! If we promise a lot of money and let them open a city for us, I don't think he will refuse! Tao Qi said.
"How can I just him?"
"Xiaguan has a friend who happens to be in this Donglai County City, and he writes a letter to him." Tao Qi said with a smile.
"Okay, go do it immediately, if you get Donglai, you will take a lot of credit."
"Yes!"
At night, Tao Qi's friend found Zhai Feng and talked about the matter secretly, and Zhai Feng agreed to open the east gate tomorrow and welcome Wenqian into the city.
Wen Qian led the team to the east gate on the second day, and raised the fire as a trumpet.
The east gate was slowly opened, and Wen Qian shouted, "Enter the city!" ”
Wen Qian took the lead, followed by several thousand cavalry, which lasted until noon, and the entire Donglai County was owned by Wen Qian.
Wen Qian immediately announced to the world that he had joined the Taiping Sect! For a time, the Taiping Sect was huge and unstoppable!
