Chapter 162: Smooth Acceptance
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
"Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people! Moreover, I believe in the virtues of Lord Zhao. Liu Xiu's words touched Zhao Ying.
In fact, the most difficult thing to do in the interaction between people is the word trust.
Liu Xiuneng agrees to live in his home, which is equivalent to putting his own net worth and life in his hands, how much trust does this have for him? How could Zhao Ying not be moved?
Zhao Ying bowed to Liu Xiu and said: "The general can really believe in it so much, and he is really grateful, from now on, he is really willing to serve the general, for the Zhutiandu Department, and for the Han army!" ”
Liu Xiu laughed, returned the salute, and said: "Lord Zhao is willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light, which is also the blessing of our army!" ”
Zhao Ying, Liu Xiu and others walked out of the small alley. Zhao Ying's entourage was still looking around outside the alley, and when they saw Zhao Ying coming back, people breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward one after another, and asked, "Where did the adults go just now?" ”
"I happened to meet a few close friends, so I chatted for a while." As he spoke, Zhao Ying waved his hand to Liu Xiu and the others. Seeing this, the entourage bowed their hands in unison.
Zhao Ying is a county lieutenant, and his house is not small, but there are very few people in it. Zhao Ying is not married, has neither a wife nor a concubine, nor an heir. In the huge house, apart from him, there are only a few domestic servants.
Back home, Zhao Ying personally arranged accommodation for Liu Xiu and others. After all the people were settled, they went to the study and sat down to chat.
Zhao Ying was the first to cut to the chase, and he asked, "General, what are the plans of our army in the future?" ”
Liu Xiu said: "It also stabilized the four counties of Caiyang, Dengxian, Xiangxiang, and Tongling, and then advanced all the way to the north, first taking Xinye, then Wancheng, and then capturing the county seat and taking the entire Nanyang County." ”
Zhao Ying nodded while listening, and when Liu Xiu finished speaking, he said with a straight face: "General, the strength of the Nanyang County Army should not be underestimated!" ”
Liu Xiu said: "Although the strength of the Nanyang County Army is strong, after all, the strength is limited, less than 10,000 people, and when our army grows stronger, it will have the strength to compete with it head-on!" ”
Zhao Ying said: "What if the imperial court sends troops to help? ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said: "The Jingshi army has just suffered a big defeat in the hands of Chimei, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and now it is necessary to use the troops of various states and counties to barely block Chimei's westward advance, where is there still any spare strength to manage Nanyang's side?" ”
That's just as well! The strength of the Jingshi army is already stretched, the situation in the imperial court is precarious, and a single red eyebrow is enough to give the imperial court a headache, and it is indeed difficult for the imperial court to take care of Nanyang anymore.
Zhao Ying said with a smile: "General, if our side can successfully capture the entire Nanyang County, our strength will even be better than that of Red Eyebrows, and at that time, it will be just around the corner to take the capital!" ”
When Liu Xiu heard this, he looked up and smiled, he turned his head to look at Yan Guang, and saw that the latter frowned slightly, he restrained his smile and asked puzzledly: "Ziling, do you have concerns?" ”
Yan Guang said quietly: "The number of new reckless qi is about to be exhausted, but the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, and the lord must not take it lightly and underestimate the strength of the imperial court." ”
Even though there are many rebels across the country now, most of the counties in the country are still in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court can still mobilize most of the country's resources at any time.
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Ziling, I understand what you mean, we can despise the enemy strategically, but in the formulation of tactics, we must pay attention to the enemy!" ”
Yan Guang nodded, indicating that it was right.
Zhao Ying looked at Liu Xiu and Yan Guang with bright eyes, and felt that the Zhutian Capital Department was really not a group of rabble, and there were also many talented people, and there was no shortage of people of insight.
He answered: "General, tonight I plan to invite all the henchmen of the county soldiers to my home and persuade them to defect with me. ”
Liu Xiu thought for a while and said, "Of course it's best!" However, the person who invites must be reliable, otherwise once the news is leaked, it will be very unfavorable to us. ”
"I understand!"
That night, Zhao Ying invited two soldiers from the county soldiers and eight tun commanders. Zhao Ying has been the county lieutenant of Deng County for five or six years, and the leaders of the county soldiers are basically his confidant brothers. At the banquet, Liu Xiu and others did not show up.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhao Yingfang told everyone the news that the Zhutian Capital Department was going to attack Deng County in a big way.
Hearing the news, everyone was taken aback and broke out in a cold sweat. People asked, "My lord, is this news reliable?" ”
"It's true!"
"That'...... How many soldiers and horses are there in the Tiandu Division? ”
"About thirty thousand."
The people swallowed their spit and looked at each other, then looked at Zhao Ying in unison, and asked again uncertainly, "Big ...... My lord, how many soldiers and horses are there in the Zhutiandu Division? ”
"Thirty thousand!" Zhao Ying said word by word.
Everyone was so weak that they almost didn't collapse to the ground. There are 30,000 rebels, and there are only about 1,000 on their own side, can this battle still be fought? The people lowered their heads, and they all became eggplants beaten by frost and wilted.
A few people raised their heads for a while, and then lowered their heads, all of them looked like they wanted to speak and stopped. Zhao Ying cleared his throat and said: "The imperial court was defeated in Chengchang, in order to prevent the red eyebrows from taking advantage of the victory to advance westward, the imperial court mobilized the troops of the state capitals and fortified them layer by layer on the road of the red eyebrows' westward advance, and the Nanyang County Army was also among them. Now the county army is going north, and the whole county is empty,
Where the Zhutian Capital Department has passed, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, let's talk about it, how can I resist the 30,000 people of the Zhutian Capital Department in Deng County? A soldier cleared his throat and said cautiously: "My lord, please forgive my subordinates for bluntly saying that our brothers in our army only have ...... There are only a thousand people who want to ...... If you want to resist the siege of 30,000 troops, you simply ...... That is, whimsical ......" said
Eventually, his voice grew smaller and smaller, and his head drooped lower.
What he said was the truth, but this was suspected of disturbing the morale of the army, and Zhao Ying, as a county lieutenant, would not be too much to kill his head with these words. It was only because of his deep personal relationship with Zhao Ying that he dared to say such a thing because there were no outsiders present.
When he finished, the hall was silent.
I don't know how long it took, another soldier stood up and said: "What Lao Wei said is the truth, we can't fight this battle at all, unless the county army can come to help immediately!" A tun chief said: "Master Wu, the county army has been transferred to Luyang, seven or eight hundred miles away from my Deng County, even if the county army has wings on its back, it is impossible to fly to my Deng County at once." What's more, the transfer of the county army must be approved by the imperial court,
Apply first and then approve, a back and forth, to say the least, it will take ten days and half a month, if you want to wait until the county army comes to help, I'm afraid the daylily will be cold! ”
Everyone nodded one after another, thinking that what he said was right, and waiting for the county army to come to help was simply unrealistic.
The military surnamed Wu looked at Zhao Ying and asked tentatively, "So, what about asking for help from other counties?" ”
"The county soldiers in other counties are difficult to even protect themselves, where are the extra troops to reinforce my Deng County? What's more, the transfer of county soldiers must also be approved by the state and county governments. ”
When the military surnamed Wu heard this, he looked at Zhao Ying again, and said, "My lord, you decide!" As long as the adults speak, we will swear to live and die with Deng County, fight against the Lingling rebels, and fight to the death! ”
The rest of the people also got up one after another, saluted Zhao Ying, and said in unison: "We are willing to follow the adults, live and die together, advance and retreat together, and fight to the death with the invading enemy!" ”
Looking at these brothers under his command, Zhao Ying was deeply grateful.
He waved his hand to the crowd and motioned for them to sit down. He said: "The Zhutian Capital Department is menacing, and the loss of the counties is only a matter of time, and my Deng County is no exception. ”
People looked at each other and hung their heads.
He continued: "I, Zhao Ying, have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, familiar with military books, and willing to serve the country with my body, but today's court is mediocre, resulting in chaos in the world, and the people are not happy. ”
When people heard this, their hearts were shocked. Zhao Ying didn't speak again, picked up the wine glass, tilted his head, and drank the wine in the glass.
Everyone stood up again in unison and asked nervously, "My lord, do you want to?" ”
When! Zhao Ying slammed the cup in his hand on the ground and said categorically: "Such a court is not guaranteed!" I am willing to defect to the Heavenly Capital, I don't know what the brothers everywhere think? Everyone subconsciously opened their mouths wide and looked at Zhao Ying blankly, and after a while, the two military candidates both drank the wine in their cups, and then also threw the wine glasses on the ground, and said: "The subordinates are in the army, and they are not following the court, but the adults, where are the adults going."
, where will the subordinates go! ”
The other eight tun chiefs also said in unison: "Where the adults go, the subordinates will go!" ”
"Okay, it's worthy of my Zhao Ying's brother! From now on, I, Zhao Ying and all my brothers, will share blessings and difficulties! ”
"Share the blessings and share the difficulties!" Everyone said in unison.
The soldier surnamed Wei said suspiciously: "It's just my lord, we want to defect to the Zhutian Capital, but the people are ...... Will people accept me and wait? ”
Zhao Ying looked up and smiled, and said, "The general came out to speak!" ”
With his words, the curtain curtain on the side door of the hall was raised, and a group of people walked out, led by a handsome young man, who was Liu Xiu.
He entered the hall and saw that everyone present was looking at him blankly, and he said with a smile: "In Xia Liu Xiu, he holds the position of a partial general in the Zhutian Capital Department!" ”
Liu Xiu? Hearing the name Liu Xiu, the faces of everyone present also changed greatly.
Without waiting for everyone to react, Liu Xiu continued: "Here, I can assure you that as long as you sincerely take refuge in our brothers, the Zhutian Capital will sincerely accept them and will never wronged your brothers!" ”
Zhao Ying took the lead in setting an example, he knelt down on one knee to Liu Xiu, intervened in the salute, and said: "Subordinate Zhao Ying, I am willing to serve the general!" ”
Everyone present woke up like a dream, looked at each other, and then left the table one after another, walked to the center of the hall, and then knelt on one knee in unison, clasped their fists and said: "I am willing to serve the general!" Liu Xiu took a deep breath, first helped Zhao Ying up, and then waved his hand to the rest of the people, and said with a smile: "Everyone get up!" In the future, we will be our own brothers, and we can work together to create a great cause, save the people of the world from fire and water, and overthrow the new mang, light
Fu Dahan! "Recover the Great Han! Recover the Great Han! Recover the Great Han! The crowd spoke three times in one breath.
