14. The Pinglu army defected

Soon, the two envoys not only drove 170 miles from Bianzhou intact to report to Liu Wu, but also brought two secret envoys from Gao Yue and Hun Xuan, which made Liu Wu overjoyed.

At dusk that day, all the camps of the Pinglu army suddenly beat the brass drums urgently, and the untidy and merry-seeking officers and soldiers were a little stunned, not knowing what the commander had to announce, and then, under the urging of the spear general and the tooth keeper, they began to follow the passage of the barracks, barely tidying up the ranks, holding battle flags, carrying bee guns or other staff and weapons, and the prostitutes in colorful clothes did not dare to laugh loudly, and each hid in the tent.

Not long after, on the high hill opposite the camp, Liu Wu pressed his bridle, rode on horseback, and came slowly, followed by Zhang Xian, the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses, dozens of strong men who accompanied him, and two scarlet-clad silverfish, dressed as civil officials, also rode horses to follow.

When the two civil officials approached, the front of the Pinglu army was the first to recognize it, and exclaimed: "Isn't this Cui Gongdu and Linghu Zao!" The two of them have already betrayed Ziqing and taken refuge in the court. Such words followed one row after another, and soon filled the camp for several miles.

Liu Wu was not in a hurry, and led the two of them to the middle base tent to sit down, and then Liu Wu asked Zhang Xian to call all his personal soldiers, put on armor to fight, and tightly surround the three sides of the tent, leaving only a pass, which was convenient for the assembled soldiers to lecture.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, a total of 100,000 people, are under the control of Gao Taishi and General Hunda, just twenty miles away." At this moment, Liu Wu raised his hand high, his five fingers extended, and his hoarse voice was extremely high-pitched.

The Pinglu army was shocked, from generals to soldiers:

The officers and soldiers are in front of them, how to resist them?

These days, they are surrounded by women, fine wine, and anointing, and their courage has long flown beyond the nine skies.

The whole scene fell silent, all eyes were fixed on Liu Wu, Liu Wu changed his face suddenly, his expression was very happy, and he laughed, "But...... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... Because, we are now the vanguard of the official army......" As he spoke, Liu Wu stood on tiptoe happily, his voice became higher and longer.

Directly south of the tabernacle, the generals and generals of the Pinglu Army all looked at each other.

In the tabernacle, Cui Gongdu and Ling Huzao were smiling, and they were very close to each other with Liu Wu and Zhang Xian, as if they had completed a great feat that was not in the world.

"Don't be noisy!" Just when the soldiers of the Pinglu Army were full of suspicions, Zhang Xian took the lead in stepping forward, holding the hilt of his sword, and his voice was fierce, "At this moment, the military momentum of the Taishi and the general is coming, whoever dares to shake the recalcitrant will be killed!" ”

With a bang, thousands of Pinglu soldiers all bowed their heads and were silent.

In the cracks of the tent, the prostitutes stared at each other with curious eyes, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Even if the imperial court has 100,000 troops to suppress the border, but you said before that Wu Shaocheng in Huaixi has been fighting with the officials and troops for a year with the land of Sanzhou. Now I have 12 states in Ziqing, and Wei Bo and Hengji also have 6 states each, and there are 24 states together, at least I can fight with the official army for eight years, so why can I easily surrender to it? Ya shouted out of the column to Xiahou Cheng.

He was immediately dragged out so as not to make any noise.

"I Pinglu army crossed the sea from Yingzhou, and it was difficult to come to Qingjing in Ziqing, and most of the time I was loyal to the Holy Lord and the imperial court. Li Zhengji, the ancestor of the Li family, was supported by the soldiers to take charge of Jingjie, without the support of the Pinglu army, the three generations of his family are nothing! Li Zhengji was not guaranteed in his later years, and was cut to Xuzhou by the imperial court, and Li Na first reformed himself before continuing to protect the boundaries of the twelve states. Up to now, you and I can see the situation of the world clearly, that is, those who follow the hall will prosper, and those who oppose the hall will die! When he shouted the word "death", Liu Wu slapped the heart guard on his chest loudly, "Before, it was Li Shigu who was arbitrary and fought with the imperial court, and we went west for the Li family, regardless of death, against the official army, and it was benevolent and righteous to the Li family." But when Li Shigu and Brother Shidao saw that they were at the end of the road, they actually wanted to kill me Liu Wu, put the blame for rebellion on Wu, and then surrender to the court. If I die today, it will be your turn tomorrow. Besides, the Taishi asked General Cui and Doctor Linghu to clearly reply to me, the only people who the Son of Heaven and Zaitang want to punish are Li Shigu and Li Shidao brothers, why do you want to bury the whole clan for these two people? These twelve states of Ziqing are owned by our Pinglu generals and soldiers, not the sacrifices of his Li family temple, and if they want to return the edition to the imperial court, then we have to do this, and it is not his Li family brother's turn to do it. ”

Liu Wu was foaming at the mouth, and most of the soldiers of the Pinglu Army who listened to it also secretly decided to follow Liu Wu, only the men and soldiers and horses made Zhao Hang Thorn, standing in front of the generals, and asked: "Dutou (other generals call Duzhi soldiers and horses to be Dutou) Isn't it to sell Pinglu Junjie handsome?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Wu threw out Liu Yanping's head, and pointed at Zhao Chuijian and scolded: "You must also be sent by the military government to harm the lives of our army." ”

Before Zhao Chuijian could understand what was going on, he was held down by a group of wolf-like soldiers, cut off his head in public, and lined up with Liu Yanping.

Liu Wu simply stepped on his two heads and shouted: "Today's plan is here, we have surrendered to the Taishi and the general, and we are the vanguard of the official army." You are willing to roll up the flag and bind your armor, turn against you, and attack the Yuncheng Military Mansion with me! ”

"Wish!" Everyone in the Pinglu Army, whether they were sincere or frightened by the heads of Liu Yanping and Zhao Chuijiao, all replied in unison.

"I am willing to follow the will of the imperial court, follow me Liu Wu, avoid danger, try to be rich and noble, and kill Brother Li Shigu!"

"Wish!"

"After the destruction of Yun City, each person will be given a hundred pieces of money, but the military treasury cannot be approached, and the rest of the festival will make the house and the property of the anti-party family, let you and others plunder, do you want it!"

"Only the head of the capital is the head of the horse, and I am willing to die!" The voices of the Pinglu army resounded through the barracks and the wilderness.

"You used to call me Father Liu, I am very happy, and today I want to marry you and others as a father and son, but you need sacrifices." After speaking, Liu Wu waved his hand and commanded-who do you hate the most when you are in the army on weekdays? Push him out, I immediately cut him in front of the scene, the so-called "weekday love, resentment, revenge" is also.

There was a cruel uproar: the Pinglu soldiers shouted and pushed each other, pushing out more than 30 people, including their hated heads, retinues, and Du branch officials, and beheaded them all under the banner of the middle base, and then Liu Wu and the soldiers swore to each other on the bloody heads like a small hill that they would never deviate.

When Gao Yue and Wu Yijun arrived at the grievance, they got the news that Liu Wu and the defective Pinglu army had captured Kaocheng like lightning, and divided their troops to march to Yanggu and Dong'e, which was less than 100 miles away from Yuncheng, where Li Shigu was located.

"You see, anyway, the Ziqing soldiers, once they understand who deceived them into the battlefield, they aim their swords and bee guns at the real enemy, how brave and positive they are!" Gao Yue couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart, and secretly thought, "Luo Zhen, this little lady, is really clever, the first step is as she expected, and she will immediately look at the next step......"

However, Gao Yue still underestimated the incomparably fiery will of the Pinglu army.
