Chapter 301: Lao Tzu Sells Himself
Seeing Cao Bianjiao and his group of soldiers and horses rolling away, Mo Changrong felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Unexpectedly, even Hong Chengtao's confidant Cao Bianjiao, and his subordinate soldiers were also owed salaries, which shows that the situation of suppressing bandits that seems to be smooth sailing now is actually full of dangers.
Early the next morning, Mo Changrong arranged 3 teams of shield soldiers and 8 teams of spearmen, a total of 1,000 troops, with more than 20,000 captives and displaced people, to Shandong.
After another three days, Mo Changrong and others, who were training soldiers on the school field of Xuyang County, suddenly saw Liu Zunru, the commander of Xuyang County, rushing in their direction with a few officials.
"Don't guerrilla, something is wrong!" Liu Zunru, the county commander, shouted loudly to Mo Changrong from afar.
Wearing a black gauze hat, wearing a green robe, and embroidering a creek pattern complement on his chest, Liu Zunru, a short and fat county magistrate, is a native of Fengxiang Mansion, Shaanxi, and has a strong Shaanxi dialect as soon as he opens his mouth. At this time, Liu Zunru, who was running under the scorching sun, was out of breath, but he didn't dare to stop for a while, and the top of the foundation official boots was full of plaster.
"What's going on, what's going on?"
Mo Changrong, who was from Yulinwei, his hometown, was surprised to see this fellow from Shaanxi rushing so quickly, and asked loudly.
"Mo guerrilla, this official has just been patrolling the city wall, and suddenly this thief cavalry came on horseback and shot this arrow book at the head of the city. Look at this content, it's not trivial, no, hurry up and take it over and show it to yourself. ”
Liu Zunru ran to Mo Changrong, gasped and stood still, then took out a crumpled letter and handed it to Mo Changrong.
Mo Changrong's cultural level is basically similar to that of Monk An, and he has just reached the level of being able to write more than 100 words in bold words, so after he received the letter, he frowned, and handed the letter to Qi Mo, the supervisor next to him, and asked him to read it.
Qi Mo took the letter, slowly unfolded it, coughed lightly, and read it.
"I am the leader of the righteous army, Zhang Miaoshou, my righteous army has been fighting with the official army for many years, fighting everywhere, I and the generals are tired, and I want to ask the court to surrender, in order to live in peace. But a certain family heard that your department collected and surrendered our rebel army personnel, and ransomed the silver, but is it true? If this is the case, you can reply with a rapid-fire letter, and if you can really redeem it according to the person, this marshal will lead the whole army of 4,000 soldiers and 5,000 family members tomorrow to surrender. ”
After Qi Mo finished reading, Mo Changrong suddenly felt ridiculous.
What's going on?
Could it be that Zhang Miao wants to surrender, and still wants to sell himself for a good price?
"Mo Guerrilla, look at this, what should you do? The thief who shot the letter was still waiting outside the city. ”
Seeing that Mo Changrong was silent, Liu Zunru, the commander of Haoyang County, hurriedly added a sentence beside him.
"Hmph, what else can I do? This melon coerced Zhang Miao, and since he was willing to lead the more than 9,000 people to surrender, I naturally had to agree. Mo Changrong turned his head to Qi Mo: "Supervisor Qi, you write a reply letter, just say that I agreed, and ask him to lead his troops outside the city tomorrow, and all of them will be surrendered on the spot." As long as the other tribes are sincere in surrendering, our troops can buy them at the price and distribute the money to each of them. ”
Liu Zunru saw that Mo Changrong was so happy, and he was about to surrender Zhang Miao's bandits, and couldn't help shouting with a suspicious face: "Mo Guerrilla, this Miaoshou is an old bandit, he shoots an arrow book like this, you will accept him with a big sting, what if this guy surrenders by fraud?" ”
Mo Changrong glanced at him: "Liu County Order, you don't know yet, a few days ago, the two bandits Zhang Miaoshou and Li Wanqing were attacked by Cao Zongbing and Deputy General He (He Renlong), Li Wanqing fled to Shanxi, and Zhang Miaoshou fled into the mountains and forests. This guerrilla is expected to be determined that he Zhang Miaoshou, an old bandit who has been licking blood with a knife for many years, must be desperate and desperate, so he is looking for this opportunity to surrender, how can he send someone to shoot an arrow book. ”
Liu Zunru snorted a few times, and still said solemnly: "Zhang Bandit is cunning, don't be gulievable, Mo Guerrilla should be more vigilant." ”
Mo Changrong nodded, and snorted, which was a response.
At this time, Qi Mo was about to go down to write a reply, Mo Changrong called him, and solemnly admonished: "The words of Liu County's order are also Lao Cheng's steady opinion, and our army really should not be taken lightly. In your letter, you told that if this guy dares to cheat, I will immediately send troops and cut off the dog's head! ”
Seeing Mo Changrong's statement, Liu Zunru's face was slightly relaxed, and after chatting with Mo Changrong for a few words, he went back to the county office.
Soon, Qi Mo wrote a reply letter and read it to Mo Changrong, and Mo Changrong was very satisfied. He ordered the soldiers stationed on the city wall to shoot back at the two rogue cavalrymen who were waiting impatiently outside the city.
The two horsemen took the book of arrows, immediately whistled, and galloped away quickly.
It's just that after seeing the two rogue cavalry go away, Mo Changrong pondered for a long time, but there was a sneer on his face, and he quietly made military arrangements overnight.
In the early morning of the next day, not long after the guards of the city wall changed their guards, they saw smoke and dust billowing from the north, and it was obvious that a large number of men and horses were coming.
Seeing this, the soldiers defending the city immediately went to report to Mo Changrong.
Soon, Mo Changrong, Qi Mo, and Liu Zunru, the county commander urgently notified by Mo Changrong, the three of them, under the escort of a group of personal soldiers, hurried up to the top of the city.
At this time, the rogues were already a stone's throw away from the city, forming a formation.
Mo Changrong squinted his eyes and looked carefully, and saw Zhang Miao's soldiers, which were indeed similar to what he said in the arrow book, with more than 4,000 soldiers, all lined up in front of the battle, and behind them were the chaotic entourage of family members and new exiles.
"Which one is the chief general of the Ming army at the head of the city? I Zhang Miaoshou personally led the soldiers to surrender, please come out quickly to answer. ”
A burly man with a slender face, gloomy eyes, and a burly figure, riding on a big flowered horse, slowly marched out of the battle, and shouted loudly to the city.
"Oh, so you're the one who is the hand." Mo Changrong clasped the pheasant in his hand, and sneered on his face: "Lao Tzu is a guerrilla Mo Changrong, you are here to surrender this time, but are you sincere?" ”
After listening to Mo Changrong's question, Zhang Miaoshou raised his head and laughed: ", you are so handsome that you are in a panic, can you wait to come and play?" To tell you the truth, Ben Shuai originally wanted to surrender to Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi, but recently I heard that your department is now in this county town of Haoyang, buying a large number of prisoners and surrendering troops. I thought to Lao Zhang, fuck, since you are a bitch, don't fucking set up a memorial arch! Anyway, the hole under the crotch is not a day for any man. Whoever is willing to spend more money, Lao Tzu will sell himself to whom, and earn more money, but it is not a loss!
Listening to Zhang Miaoshou's obscene and complacent words, Liu Zunru, the county magistrate from a scholar's background, and Qi Mo, the prison officer, both shook their heads secretly, but Mo Changrong listened to it, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Leader Zhang is right, there is wine today and drunk today, since ancient times, there is milk is a mother, Leader Zhang is so knowledgeable about current affairs, knows how to advance and retreat, and is also a handsome man in the world. In this way, the official promised you, as long as you surrender sincerely, the official will give you the full amount of money to buy people. Thou hast ordered thy men to lay down their arms and wait for our army to go out of the city to receive them. ”
When Zhang Miaoshou heard this, the yin owl's eyes flashed, and he asked again: "Mo guerrilla, let me ask you, after our troops surrendered, where do you want to place us?" ”
Mo Changrong looked directly at him and said: "After you surrender, we will be escorted by our army to the Shandong border, and then my family, Chifeng Bo Li Xiao, will make arrangements for you." ”
Zhang Miaoshou frowned, and hurriedly said: "So, is it to separate our army and resettle it, and we need to go to other places?" ”
"Exactly." Mo Changrong replied coldly.
Zhang Miaoshou groaned to himself, and at this time, a person who looked like a deputy behind him immediately came forward, attached to his ear, and whispered a few words.
When Mo Changrong saw Zhang Miaoshou's face, he immediately showed a ruthless expression.
"How is it, would you like to surrender?"
Seeing that Zhang Miaoshou was silent for a long time, Mo Changrong urged impatiently.
"Okay, we are willing to surrender, you can lead your troops out of the city to receive it." Zhang Miaoshou replied with a sneer.
"Then you shill your men to put their weapons aside." Mo Changrong said with a serious face.
Zhang Miaoshou hesitated for a moment, and then ordered the soldiers in the formation to pile up swords and shields next to them, like a small mountain.
"Mo Guerrilla, now, you should believe in Ben Shuai." Zhang Miaoshou smiled and made a gesture to Mo Changrong.
A sneer crossed Mo Changrong's face, and he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately ordered the city gate to be opened, and then, he took the Sentry Horse of General B and C, put down the drawbridge, and went out of the city.
Some time ago, Mo Changrong just transferred many soldiers and horses mainly from the B General and C outposts to escort the prisoners to Shandong. Therefore, when he went out of the city this time, there were only 3 teams of spearmen, 3 teams of shield soldiers, a total of more than 600 people, and dozens of light cavalry, accompanied him.
After Mo Changrong led all his troops out of the city, he saw that at the entrance of the city gate that was wide open, no soldiers came out, and Zhang Miaoshou's eyes flashed with a light like a vicious wolf.
"Hmph, the Ming army that the dog entered, grandpa and I, I really wanted to sell myself for a good price, but you can't wait to supply our army like grandpa, and you still want to separate our army and settle it, let you wait for slaughter, phew, do a good dream! You Ming dogs, don't think about it, Lao Tzu followed Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rebels back then, fled into the carriage gorge, and came over after nine deaths, will he come to you so easily! ”
Now that Lao Tzu's plan to lure the snake out of the hole has been achieved, then the next step, Lao Tzu will send you Ming dogs to the west!
If we can kill these stupid Ming dogs and take the county seat of Haoyang, then a large number of silver, ordnance and food hidden by these Ming troops in the county will all fall into the hands of our righteous army, and our army should rely on this large number of military materials to recruit troops and horses, regain strength, and dominate the world again!
Zhang Miao finished proudly in the palm of his hand, then stuffed two fingers into his mouth and let out a long sharp whistle.
At this time, from the families of the Han thieves, who were originally in a mess, there were more than 2,500 strong soldiers, who tore off the rags wrapped around their bodies, revealing the cotton armor and iron armor inside, as well as the sharp weapons hidden inside.
It turned out that the rogue soldiers in front of them were all dressed as old and weak, and these rogue thieves hidden in their families were the real elite members of the rogues!
Zhang Miao's hand steals the day, and the end is ruthless and vicious!
"Brothers, listen up! Kill the previous batch of Ming dogs, and our army will directly take the county seat of Haoyang! Zhang Miao waved his knife and shouted: "If you take down the county seat of Haoyang, the large amount of silver and women in it is enough for our brothers to live happily!" ”
A group of rogue soldiers with swords and swords, when they heard the commander's shout, they suddenly felt like they had been beaten with chicken blood, and there was no dissatisfaction on everyone's faces. After all, during this period of time, they were forced by the official army to hide in the dense forest, but they suffered a lot, but now, they have an excellent opportunity to loot and slaughter.
These rogues roared in unison, wielding their swords and swords, like a swarm of wild bees, and rushed towards the soldiers and horses of Mo Changrong's army, which were only less than a quarter of their own.
Liu Zunru, the county commander who was originally standing on the city wall with a happy face and wanted to watch the official army successfully receive the bandits, saw this sudden change, and his face was as pale as earth.
"Ahem, these dogs can't believe it! How can you say that if you turn your face, you will turn your face! Ahem, you are not a guerrilla, why are you acting impulsively! ”
When Liu Zunru beat his chest, he found that Qi Mo, the superintendent of the Tiger Army on the side, was still calm.
Liu Zunru was angry and anxious: "Eunuch Qi, why are you still here like a wooden pestle!" Hurry up and call your family Mo guerrilla back, stick to the city, it's a serious matter! ”
Qi Mo didn't seem to hear Liu Zunru's shouting at all, he turned his head and quickly issued a military order to the two Li Xiaojun soldiers standing on the side.
As a result, one soldier whined loudly and sounded the conch horn, while the other soldier waved the flag in his hand vigorously and played the flag.
At this time, Liu Zunru suddenly saw that the left and right rows in the distance were suddenly moving from the forest, and the shouts of killing were everywhere, and there were a large number of soldiers and horses, divided from the left and right sides, and came over.
At this moment, when they heard the military horn and saw the flag, they immediately shouted and killed according to the plan set yesterday, and attacked the back road of Liukou.
In addition, as many as 500 flying harrier cavalry also rushed out of the forest, everyone screamed, and after making a big turn, they rushed straight to the middle of the back of the thief, covering up!
Seeing this sudden change, Zhang Miaoshou and the soldiers under his command suddenly turned pale, and they stopped attacking one after another, and they were incessant.
, how to get scared!
The plan he painstakingly designed to lure the snake out of the hole had been seen through by Mo Changrong, who had entered the dog, and instead gave himself a plan to catch a turtle in an urn!
It's over, it's over, now, it's going to be dumplings completely.
At this moment, Zhang Miaoshou's face was full of despair.
When Zhang Miao's hands instantly fell into a desperate situation, Liu Zunru, the county commander at the head of the city, was overjoyed, he was like a child, he waved his fists with his sleeves, and jumped with joy.
"Into your mother's Zhang Miao's hands, you also have today!" Liu Zunru said loudly with a happy smile on his face: "What's the matter, have you seen it, do you know how powerful our Ming official army is?" Now, if you don't surrender again, it's a dead end! “
At this time, Mo Changrong, who had already been in a gun and shield battle formation along the moat, and was protected by dozens of cavalry in the center, looked at Zhang Miaoshou who was anxious and hesitant not far in front, and his heart was also extremely happy.
Hmph, it's ridiculous that you still want to play tricks in front of Grandpa Ben with your little tricks! This time, grandpa and I, I want to completely kill you bandits who have been evil for many years!
"Zhang Miaoshou, you thief, treacherous, shameless, you dare to cheat in front of your grandfather! If it weren't for Ben Jiang's precautions, I'm afraid that I would really fall for your plan to lure the snake out of the hole. Hmph, now that Erbu has been surrounded by our legions, if you don't surrender again, our army will kill a piece of armor without leaving a piece of armor! “
Mo Changrong finished speaking loudly, and shouted loudly: "Our troops and horses are about to attack from all sides, if you don't descend quickly, this official will be killed!" What's the matter, Zhang Miaoshou, whether it's a battle or a fall, answer quickly! “
"Marshal, what is our army doing now, do you want to get an idea quickly?!"
At this time, the rogue who looked like a deputy next to him also asked anxiously and panickedly.
Zhang Miaoshou didn't answer, he just stared at Mo Changrong with a smug smile on the opposite side with a pair of extremely resentful eyes, the flesh on his cheeks bulged violently, and his teeth were clenched, as if he wanted to bite Mo Changrong into powder.
