Chapter 181: Shuozhou's Great Victory
There is a team bought by Xi Jun, if the other party only comes to ride, naturally there is no need to panic, and it seems that the appearance of people does not look like they are coming to war.
"Dare to ask Sun Zhengming, the son can be here."
The person who came was very tall and burly, and at first glance he was a martial arts master, carrying a bloody burden in his hand, as if he had known that Sun Xiangfu was in the team early on, and when he reached a distance of about twenty paces, he immediately hugged his fist.
"It is Sun Zhengming."
Seeing that the other party did not have a bow and arrow or other weapons, Sun Xiangfu took off his helmet and said.
"Yes, this is what my son Xu ordered to hand over to Sun Gongzi." As he spoke, the man threw the bloody burden in his hand, and Xi Jun on Sun Xiangfu's side bought it quickly and caught the burden as soon as he could.
"Head? Whose? ”
Xi Junmai just weighed the weight of the burden, then looked at the man and asked.
"Shuozhou can get the head of a certain person who Gongzi Xu personally ordered to be taken, and only Liang Shidu's."
Sun Xiangfu was stunned when he heard this, Wang Xu had already dealt with Liang Shidu?
Xi Junmai was also very surprised, and hurriedly opened the baggage, which was a middle-aged man with half-white hair, and in addition, there was also a token of the governor of Shuozhou in the former Sui period.
Seeing Sun Xiangfu and Xi Junmai's suspicious faces, the man smiled again, "I don't have the ability to take the head of the commander among the ten thousand troops, this is indeed Liang Shidu's head, but he was killed by Liang Shidu's cousin Liang Luoren, at this moment, the stubborn rebellion in Shuozhou City has been awarded, Liang Luoren is willing to lead his troops to the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Gongzi can enter the city at any time to surrender." ”
"So, enter the city and surrender?"
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was even more confused, even if this Liang Shidu was a dog raised by the Wang family, it was impossible for him to be so obedient!
In fact, Sun Xiangfu thought about it, then Liang Luoren had already intended to rebel against Liang Shidu, because he was not optimistic about Liang Shidu, who had not won any victories since the beginning of the situation, plus Wang Xu sent someone to find him and promised him some benefits, so, after weighing it, Liang Luoren decided to go the other way, which was also his last chance to get the merit of killing the thief and surrendering, so Wang Xu just took advantage of the power of the court to do a lobbyist job in the middle.
"My family Xu Gongzi said, you must dare to enter the city to surrender, because in this way, the emperor will no longer have a reason to put a shackle on your neck, and the ministers will no longer have a reason to shout and kill you, in the city, but there are thousands of rebellious people under the Liang division waiting for Sun Gongzi to collect it!" The man smiled lightly.
"Hehe, enter in, whoever is afraid of whom, anyway, it killed me, and Wang Xu will not get any benefit."
Looking at that person's demeanor, Sun Xiangfu knew that what he said was ninety percent true, and felt that what Wang Xu said also made some sense, if he took the people from the death row camp to break the city alone, who would dare to say that he deserved to die.
"Then I will lead the way for my son."
After that, the man turned around, and Sun Xiangfu said to Zhao Qiang, "You don't need to go back to report the news, just go back and report the victory!" If you go in person, you will say that I rebelled against Liang Shidu's cousin, General Liang Luoren, and cooperated with him inside and outside, broke through Mayi City, and personally beheaded Liang Shidu. ”
"Uh, this ······"
"As I said, Wang Xu reached a deal with me anyway, and if he rebels, it is equivalent to my rebellion, by the way, bring Liang Shidu's head with him."
Sun Xiangfu asked Xi Jun to buy a nu mouth, and Xi Junmai, who knew the situation of the banquet that day, immediately understood, wrapped the head again, and handed it to Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang also went to the city tower that day, naturally knowing the agreement reached between Sun Xiangfu and Wang Xu, and soon understood what Sun Xiangfu meant, so he ordered a few guards and drove away the way he came.
After a while, Sun Xiangfu arrived at the gate of Shuozhou City with more than 100 horses, only to see at least 5,000 horsemen lined up at the city gate, but their clothes were relatively tattered, and they did not hold weapons in their hands.
"Shuozhou Army Sima Liang Luoren begged to surrender to the imperial court heavenly soldiers."
The leader of a middle-aged man who was still wearing a former Sui military uniform was holding a large tray with many books on the tray, which should be a booklet recording the household registration of the military and civilians in Shuozhou, which was very helpful for the imperial court to control Shuozhou.
Sun Xiangfu also dismounted at this time, and seeing that there was nothing unusual, he took off the big iron helmet, took the tray from Liang Luoren's hand and said, "Liang Sima killed the thief and sacrificed the city, and he made great contributions to the court, please get up!" Let your subordinate generals also get up, return to the barracks first, and wait for the reorganization of the imperial court. ”
Liang Shidu has long lost his ambition to dominate the world in repeated failures, swaying between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks, and just wants to live a comfortable life of luxury for a few days, so the armament is very relaxed, the combat power of the Shuozhou army is very low, and the soldiers are more old and weak than the young, but there are so many people, the imperial court wants to control Shuozhou, and most of these Shuozhou soldiers will be newly organized into civilian households.
However, it is not so simple to accept the surrender of one party's forces, there is a lot of work to do, the treasury, warehousing, etc., etc., these Sun Xiangfu must at least understand one situation first, so as not to be fished in troubled waters, when he and Liang Luoren entered the city to take care of these affairs, Zhao Qiang and the others had already returned to the team that came with Liang Shidu's head.
"Shuozhou was victorious, Sun Zhengming of the death row camp led a hundred death row prisoners to break through the city, and personally beheaded the rebellious Liang Shidu ······"
"What?"
Meng Jiao, the captain of the Overseer Team, almost fell to the ground with his jaw, and it took less than a day to break the city?
also beheaded Liang Shidu?
It seems that their mission is to make the way for the army······
The sergeants of the entire team were messy in the cold wind, and if they hadn't seen Zhao Qiang come over with a human head, they would have been completely unable to believe the news.
Two hours later, the pioneer general Niu Jinda received the head of Liang Shidu, he knew Liang Shidu, so he immediately sent someone to pass the head of Liang Shidu to Li Ji, the commander of the Chinese army, Niu Jinda asked his subordinates to set off immediately and rushed to Shuozhou overnight.
Early in the morning, when the sky was still bright, Niu Jinda saw Sun Xiangfu and a cadre from the death row camp at the head of the city, and after leading the army into the city, he immediately checked the armament of the Shuozhou army, and controlled all the weapons that could cause damage to the army, and then settled down.
"You kid, this is the one you played?"
In the city gate tower, Niu Jinda sat next to Sun Xiangfu, who was checking the household registration of Shuozhou fields, with hot air in his mouth, and asked close to Xiangfu's face.
"Hehe, it's just to break a city and kill a thief! Isn't that the mission of our death row camps? Now, these death row prisoners have not died in a war, and their crimes have been reduced by one degree, and the court cannot behead them until the next war. Sun Xiangfu sorted out the messed up information again, put it in the tray, and pushed it to Niu Jindadao.
"Do you believe that? I advise you to tell the truth to Your Majesty, otherwise, you will have to suffer like this often in the future. Niu Jinda said that, and saw Meng Jiao of the Supervisory Team walking in with the shackles that had been untied from Sun Xiangfu's neck before, obviously to put on Sun Xiangfu again.
Seeing this thing, Sun Xiangfu's face turned bitter, and he said, "Can you rest for two days, isn't the governor of the capital still in Shuozhou." ”
"Then you don't talk about it." Niu Jinda looked indifferent, and got up to walk the aisle.
"I said, I said it's not okay, the Taiyuan Wang clan knew that Liang Shi couldn't defeat the imperial army, and they were afraid that their industry in Shuozhou would be damaged, so they rebelled against Sima Liang Luoren, who was subordinate to Liang Shidu, early in the morning, and just took advantage of it."
"It's as simple as that?" Niu Jinda still has some disbelief.
"It's that simple." Sun Xiangfu shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Heh, you kid is lucky, that one, go and find Liang Luoren, I will have something to ask him, by the way, put this thing on him, this is required by His Majesty's holy decree."
"Hey, General Niu, you can't talk without words!"
"What did Ben promise you?"
"Ugh."
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu was speechless.
The shackles returned to Sun Xiangfu's neck a day after they were taken off, just when Sun Xiangfu wanted to poop, so he looked for Old Tang everywhere.
"How is it, where is Liang Luoren's confession correct?"
"Don't worry, old man, this kind of thing is corrupt and bending the law, the old man has been doing it for decades from the former Sui to the present, and he is familiar with the way, and there has been no mistake or omission, Liang Luoren will only say what I taught him. That, the things in the treasury, shouldn't the old man also share a little······"
"Just take out a little bit of those things and plug Liang Luoren's mouth, if you really dare to ask for it, it is estimated that there is no play to avoid death, and the corpse will be close at hand."
"Then you still ······"
"I'm just getting some fields, this Shuozhou land is half pasture and half farming, where is the field, where is the grassland, who can say ······it clearly?"
After the two thieves came out of the thatched house, they were in a good mood, in fact, when Niu Jinda entered the city gate just now, Sun Xiangfu was working on the final enclosure, and the fields that were crossed out by him and added to the names of some people under Liang Luoren will then be under Sun Xiangfu's name.
For this reason, Liang Luoren needed to make up a story to the imperial court, that is, when he was strangling the traitor Liang Shidu, Sun Xiangfu led the men and horses to come, and just annihilated the Liang Shidu and its remnants who fled from the gate at the city gate.
Everything is very reasonable, after Niu Jinda saw the scene, he felt that there was no problem, so he asked the soldiers to collect the corpses and record the facts he thought were in the military merit book, but this also made him even more greedy for Sun Xiangfu's equipment for those guards, although he knew that Li Shimin had also ordered people to start building crossbows, but the number was very small, and it had not been equipped in the army, this thing was really a killing weapon on the battlefield.
