The history of Laizhou Thorn took Laizhou to surrender to the imperial army, which can be said to make Dengzhou fry up and down instantly.

According to the schedule, it hasn't been long since the imperial army arrived in Laizhou City, so you should insist on fighting for a few days!

It's good, I didn't fight, I just surrendered.

At first, they also discussed whether to lead troops to reinforcements, but now Laizhou has surrendered, and reinforcements are a fart.

Let's stick to Dengzhou.

At least Dengzhou and Laizhou are also separated by a short distance, and it will take a lot of time for the imperial army to arrive, and they have plenty of time to prepare。。。。。 Prepare for the back road.

"The Laizhou Navy Division also surrendered? What about Ben Shuai's cousin? Wang Shifan thought that it was the generals below the Laizhou Navy Division who committed the crime and set up or murdered his cousin.

But the answer of the visitor made him dumbfounded.

"Back. Hui Jieshuai, the Laizhou Sailor surrendered under the leadership of General Wang, and the surrender of the Laizhou Assassin also has the reason for the surrender of the Laizhou Sailor. ”

Hearing this result, Wang Shifan was stupid.

Shouldn't his cousin be on his side? Why did they voluntarily surrender to the imperial court?

That's my cousin, they're all surnamed Wang!

What about the Dengzhou Marine? Could it be the same?

If the Dengzhou Sailor is like this, wouldn't his retreat be cut off!

。。。。。。

"The criminal minister Li Jiye has seen Deputy Envoy Zhang, General Li, and Huo Tingshi."

On February 6, the fifth year of Qianning, the gate of Laizhou was opened, and Li Jiye, the assassin of Laizhou, led a group of civil and military officials in Laizhou and the families in the city out of the city to welcome the 30,000 troops led by Zhang Chan into the city.

As a general, Li Jiye pleaded guilty to Zhang Chan at the gate of the city in front of the people and soldiers of the entire Laizhou.

"It's not too late for Li Tingshi to know his way back." Zhang Chan was quite complacent, but he still helped Li Jiye.

Looking at Li Jiye in front of him, Zhang Chan felt how proud he was.

The two of them naturally knew each other, after all, they were both assassins during Wang Jingwu's period, but Li Jiye was more trusted by Wang Jingwu than him. So the other party served as the assassin of Laizhou, and he was sent to Dizhou to serve as the assassin.

Now it's the other way around, the former rival is now a prisoner, and the pride in his heart can be regarded as greatly satisfied.

"Presumably, this next to him is the commander of the Laizhou Water Division, General Wang Shi and Miao Wang!" Seeing a general beside Li Jiye who was wearing different armor from other generals, Zhang Chan couldn't help asking.

"The criminal minister Wang Shimiao has seen Deputy Envoy Zhang!"

"Yes, General Wang is well aware of righteousness, Zhang must report this matter to the marshal and the court!"

"Xie Deputy Envoy Zhang!"

As Zhang Chan entered the city with an army of 30,000, this Laizhou was recovered by them.

The city defense of Laizhou was also taken over by the 30,000 army led by Zhang Chan, and the original Laizhou soldiers and horses were placed in the military camp outside the city, and then the weapons were collected, temporarily guarded, and waiting for disposal.

Of course, the unity soldiers in these armies will be disbanded, leaving only the original state soldiers.

That night, Li Jiye held a dinner party in the Assassin's Mansion.

During the dinner, Li Jiye, who had recently surrendered, kept emphasizing his identity as a Li from the Bohai Sea.

The Bohai Li clan belongs to one of the thirteen branches of the Li clan in Longxi, and the reason why it has been emphasized many times is just to get closer to Li Wenzhong.

Strictly speaking, the Li Tang royal family also belongs to the Li family in Longxi, and Li Jiye emphasizes his background, and his intentions are also obvious.

However, even in Longxi, the Bohai Li clan belongs to a branch that his father does not love and his mother does not love, and it is impossible for Li Wenzhong to confirm Li Jiye's identity.

In addition to Li Jiye, Wang Shimiao's wife Li is also climbing the relationship, saying that she is a branch of the Li family of Zhao County.

For the performance of these two people, even Zhang Chan and others felt that it was a bit exaggerated.

And Li Wenzhong dealt with it there without being salty or light, and he didn't take the two of them too seriously. However, he was a little interested in Wang Shimiao, he knew that the saint was very interested in this water master, and he was naturally a little curious that this Wang Shifan cousin actually took the initiative to bring the Laizhou water master to the imperial court.

"Li Jianshi, General Wang, how much do you know about the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou?"

After the banquet, Zhang Chan did not forget his business, and called Li Jiye and Wang Shimiao over early the next morning to inquire about the situation.

Li Jiye hurriedly stood up and said, "Return to Deputy Envoy Zhang." Although Dengzhou is the richest state in Ziqing and Shangzhou, it originally did not have many troops, only 6,000 state soldiers and 3,000 Dengzhou sailors.

Last year, because of the battle with the imperial court, according to the ratio of one out of ten, 5,000 unity soldiers were recruited, but they were lost in Qingzhou.

Later, Wang Shifan fled to Dengzhou and brought more than 10,000 troops, and Dengzhou should have 20,000 troops at this time.

However, the lower officials heard that Dengzhou was recruiting unity soldiers at a ratio of one out of five, and if it was according to this method, it might have to count 10,000 unity soldiers. ”

"One out of five?" Hearing this ratio, Rao is Li Wenzhong was also a little surprised.

The unity soldiers are the worst treated among the various arms of the Tang Dynasty, and they are not as good as the regular state soldiers, border troops and tooth soldiers, let alone compared with the forbidden army.

To put it bluntly, the Unity Soldiers are cannon fodder recruited to make up for the lack of regular troops.

However, the general extraction ratio is 15 to 1 and 10 to 1, of which 15 to 1 is the most common, which will not affect the farm work.

This five-to-one is a bit terrifying in Li Wenzhong's opinion, and they are about to catch up with those nomads in Longyou and Hexi.

"Deputy Envoy Zhang, if Dengzhou can't hold on, with Dengzhou's troops, it will not be easy for us to attack the city in a short time." Huo Cun hugged his fists.

"Can you attack from the sea?" Zhang Chan had a whim, and then looked at Wang Shimiao, "General Wang, is it possible for you to persuade the Dengzhou Naval Division to surrender?" ”

The biggest obstacle to attacking from the sea is the Dengzhou Naval Division, and if you can persuade the Dengzhou Naval Division to surrender, you can bypass the Dengzhou city wall.

Wang Shimiao smiled bitterly, "Deputy Envoy Zhang looks down on the last general. The commander of the Dengzhou Navy Division is the uncle of the last general, who is very loyal to the uncle of the last general and will not listen to the advice of the last general.

The key is still in Wang Shifan. If he can surrender, it will be easy to take Dengzhou. ”

"Then can General Wang go and persuade Wang Shifan to surrender?" Li Wenzhong asked suddenly.

"Me?" Wang Shimiao pointed at himself in surprise and shook his head, "The last general took the Laizhou sailor to the imperial court, thinking about it, it has already made Wang Shifan very dissatisfied." To put it mildly, if the last general enters Dengzhou City at this time, he may immediately become a prisoner. ”

"How can General Wang know if he doesn't try. If you can persuade Wang Shifan to surrender, your lineage of the Wang family will not wither, and now that the defeat is decided, there is no need to continue to resist.

I think General Wang should know how the imperial army broke through Qingzhou at the beginning, right? No matter how strong the wall of Dengzhou is, can it be compared to Qingzhou?

Take the initiative to surrender, and say that if you don't move the Holy One, you can also be exempted from the guilt of your Wang family; But if it is stubborn, the result will be unknown at that time, and General Wang doesn't want to see that scene! ”
