In the first battle of Laiyang, the official army killed many rebels, and the thief Li Jiucheng was captured, which can be described as a great victory, but unfortunately it was escaped by Kong Youde, Mao Chenglu and others. [ VIII [[一[(< (中< [

Mo Li, Zhu Dadian and others were about to enter the city to rectify the order, when suddenly a young general riding a white horse rushed towards Mo Li, raised his gun and stabbed at Mo Li, and shouted: "Thief! Give back my father's life! ”

That young player is Wu Sangui. Since Wu Xiang was killed by Mo Li in Dalinghe City, Wu Sangui vowed to avenge his father and slash the enemy, but he never saw Mo Li. Last time under the city of Laizhou, he did not run into Moli because he led his troops to pursue Li Jiucheng's troops.

Today, I finally saw Mo Li under Laiyang City, the so-called enemies were very red when they met, and the hatred of killing their father was not shared, Wu Sangui rushed to his brain with blood for a while, and he was about to stab Mo Li to death when he raised his gun.

Seeing this, Cao Bianjiao was furious and shouted: "The thief is looking for death!" With a clip of the horse's belly, he waved Fang Tian's halberd to meet it, and when he blocked Wu Sangui's spear, Fang Tian's halberd dragged it and slashed at Wu Sangui's left shoulder.

Guan Feng, Sima Jian, Li Guo and others also waved their weapons and stepped forward, protecting Mo Li while trying to capture Wu Sangui.

Zu Dacheng next to him was taken aback, and hurriedly said loudly: "General Mo's subordinates have mercy!" ”

Mo Li didn't know Wu Sangui, but seeing that Zu Dacheng was so anxious, he thought it was his closest relative, so he shouted loudly: "Xiao Cao, don't hurt him!" ”

Zu Dacheng is also the chief military officer of Liaodong, and now he has killed Gao Qiqian, although outsiders don't know that he did it, but he will be affected somewhat, so it is naturally inconvenient to deal with Zu Dacheng again, and there will be any contradictions, so as not to affect his future plans.

Cao Bianjiao and the others heard Mo Li's words, and immediately forced Wu Sangui to retreat, so they wanted to withdraw their weapons, jump out of the battle circle, and not worry about Wu Sangui. Who knew that Wu Sangui didn't appreciate it, or was carried away by hatred, and still rushed over regardless of it, he had to kill Mo Li.

Cao Bianjiao couldn't bear it anymore, and Fang Tian's halberd danced like the wind, forcing Wu Sangui to retreat again and again. Zu Dacheng, Zu Zechuan and others were so anxious that their eyes were on fire, but they couldn't think about it, so they could only shout: "Sangui, retreat!" ”

Cao Bianjiao saw the opportunity, picked off Wu Sangui's spear with a halberd, and then swept the halberd handle and hit Wu Sangui's chest, sweeping him off the horse when he landed, and was almost injured by the war horse.

Wu Sangui got up in embarrassment, his body was covered with mud, and he was slightly injured, looking very embarrassed.

Cao Bianjiao didn't force him, he immediately crossed the halberd, stared at Wu Sangui majestically, as long as he made any move, he would immediately step forward and kill him.

Zu Dacheng hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his hand to Cao Bianjiao and said, "Thank you General Cao for your mercy!" ”

Turning his head to Wu Sangui, he shouted: "Sangui, don't hurry up and apologize to General Cao and General Mo!" ”

Wu Sangui stood on the ground in a daze, his face both ashamed and dazed. He has always been very conceited about his martial arts, and he couldn't imagine that he would be shot down by the other party after fighting this Cao Bianjiao in less than ten moves.

However, the revenge of killing his father is not shared, did he just let go of that enemy?

Wu Sangui's face was white and blue for a while, his chest couldn't help but rise and fall, and he said fiercely: "Third uncle, have you forgotten?" That's the murderer of my father and uncle! ”

As he spoke, he pointed at Mo Li, and said hatefully: "Ink thief! I, Wu Sangui, don't share the sky with you! I can't kill you today, and I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives in the future! ”

Mo Li looked at Wu Sangui with a smile on his face, and said lightly: "Wu Sangui, right?" Sure enough, he is young and frivolous! Okay, then Moli is waiting for you! ”

Zu Dacheng's face was extremely ugly, and he shouted: "Sangui, that's enough!" ”

How did Zu Dacheng not want to kill Mo Li to avenge his eldest brother and brother-in-law, but the division was unknown, and now the other party was still a military general of the imperial court after all, how could he kill whatever he said. Even if you want to kill, you can only do it secretly, how can you say that you want to kill him with great fanfare?

What's more, the new Liao army is now strong and strong, what can you do to kill others?

After all, Wu Sangui is still young and vigorous, and he doesn't have a city government at all, so how can he achieve great things in the future.

Wu Sangui was scolded by his uncle, a little stupid, and just wanted to retreat, but suddenly said: "Uncle, I suspect that Father-in-law Gao was also killed by him!" I hope my uncle and Lord Futai can see it! ”

As soon as these words came out, Guan Feng, Li Guo, Sima Jian and others all had their hearts skipping a beat, and they all looked at Mo Li, feeling a little uneasy in their hearts.

Zhu Dadian, Zu Dacheng, Tao Kewang and others were also taken aback, this Wu Sangui is too bold and reckless, dare to say such things casually?

You must know that Gao Qiqian is a eunuch of the prison army and a celebrity in front of the emperor, killing Gao Qiqian is undoubtedly equivalent to rebellion, and in the eyes of the imperial court, there is no difference between him and Kong Youde and others.

Wu Sangui was just a guerrilla at this time, but he so openly slandered a general and said that he killed officials and plotted rebellion, if this is well-founded, it is fine, if there is no basis and no basis, then the consequences will not be ordinary serious.

If there is no official and rebels, if such a thing is unprovoked, then it is not too much for Mo Li to kill him.

Cao Bianjiao didn't know about Mo Li's killing of Gao Qiqian, and when he heard this, he was furious and shouted: "Little thief! I think you're tired of it! ”

As he spoke, he was about to cut Wu Sangui with a wave of Fang Tian's halberd.

Guan Feng immediately reacted and shouted angrily: "Sangui thief, you are framing our adults in vain, you are dead!" ”

As he spoke, he drew his knife and wanted to step forward to capture Wu Sangui.

Zhu Dadian and Zu Dacheng said loudly at the same time: "Stop!" ”

Mo Li also shouted: "Xiao Cao, come back!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Bianjiao accepted Fang Tian's halberd, took a step back, and glared at Wu Sangui with an angry face.

Mo took a step forward and said in a good time: "Wu Sangui, that's right, your father Wu Xiang was killed by me, you hate me, and you want to kill me to take revenge, I can understand this, but you have a red mouth and white teeth, and you slander me for killing Gao Gonggong, don't you think you are very excessive and ridiculous?" Gonggong Gao is a eunuch in the prison army, and he is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, so it's too late for me to think about it! ”

Wu Sangui snorted and said angrily: "I'm bah! You are a madman and rebel, you killed my father and my uncle in Daling River that day, what else can't you do! I've heard people say that you have a grudge against Grandpa Gao, and you scolded Grandpa Gao for being blind last time in Laizhou City! You thief must have a grudge and deliberately murdered Grandpa Gao! ”

"Hear from someone?" Mo Li couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head and sighed: "If you have no evidence, you will also open your mouth?" Wu Sangui, General Ben advises you to talk in the future, or you have to think about it, so as not to cause trouble in the future, I don't know! Not everyone is as good a talker as General Ben! ”

"You! ......”

"Forget it this time," Mo Li's face suddenly turned cold, "For the sake of Lord Futai and General Zu, General Ben won't care about you, if there is a next time, General Ben doesn't mind reuniting your father and son!" ”

Zu Dacheng couldn't help but gasp, this Mo Li's look and the aura of Wang Ba bursting out of his body were really terrifying, and his eyes were like a lone wolf in the snow, ruthless enough.

Wu Sangui was also stunned, and his heart involuntarily swooped out twice, and he stopped talking for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Dadian hurriedly played a round and said: "Okay, okay, everyone is a soldier and horse of the imperial court, and they are all on an errand for the emperor, so why hurt the harmony." This is the end of the matter, and it will not be mentioned again. ”

As he spoke, he deliberately glanced at Wu Sangui, meaning to warn him not to cause more trouble.

After a pause, Zhu Dadian said again: "No matter what, we finally won a big battle this time, and everyone is tired, so they each instructed the brothers to clean up the battlefield, and then discuss how to attack Dengzhou next, and completely take Kong Youde's lair!" ”

"Yes, Lord Futai!" Everyone agreed, and went their separate ways.

In the first battle of Laiyang City, the officers and soldiers killed more than 12,000 rebel soldiers, captured more than 30,000 and 400 people, and fled more than 9,000 people with Kong Youde and others.

In addition, hundreds of large and small artillery pieces, countless firearms and weapons, more than 1,000 war horses, tens of thousands of catties of grain and grass, and countless gold, silver and jade artifacts were captured, which can be described as a brilliant record.

The casualties of the officers and men, including the defenders of Laiyang City and the Xinliao Army, totaled more than 4,700 killed and more than 6,000 wounded. The only regrettable thing is that Gao Qiqian, the eunuch of the prison army, and several eunuchs of the imperial horse were all killed, and none of them were spared.

If Gao Qiqian did not die, then this great victory will make the Son of Heaven Longyan happy, the emperor is happy, and the new Liao army and the Zujia, Lu soldiers and other departments who fought this victory will naturally have rich rewards, Zhu Dadian, Moli, Zu Dacheng, Cao Bianjiao, Tao Kewang and other generals will also be rewarded by the imperial court, and they will be promoted to official wealth.

But the problem is that now that Gao Qiqian is dead, and the nominal deputy commander of this army is dead, then the credit for this great victory will definitely be greatly reduced.

How to write in the military newspaper in order to try not to make the emperor angry and minimize the impact of Gao Qiqian's death, this is undoubtedly a headache.

However, these things have their own headaches for Zhu Dadian, Lu Hanzhang and others, and all Mo Li has to do is how to march into Dengzhou, take Kong Youde's lair, and capture or kill Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Mao Chenglu and other thieves alive.

With the exploits of recovering Dengzhou, coupled with the favorable conditions of the great victories in Zhucheng and Laiyang, I believe that we will be able to dilute the adverse effects of some high-rise and submarine deaths and regain the opportunity to control more military power. In this way, you can realize your plan step by step and achieve the desired goals.

Besides, after Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Mao Chenglu and others led the remaining 9,000 remnants of the army to flee back to Dengzhou in panic, they immediately closed the four cities and sent troops to patrol the city walls day and night, as if facing a great enemy.

Integrating the soldiers and horses in Dengzhou, Huangxian and other places, Kong Youde still has more than 17,000 troops, and now he has given up Huangxian and other places, and all his troops have withdrawn to Dengzhou City to strictly prevent the officials and troops from coming to suppress them.

In the former Dengzhou Mansion, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyu, Mao Chenglu and others gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Geng Zhongming said first: "Deputy Marshal, Du Shuai has been captured, what should we do now?" Gotta come up with an idea! The officers and soldiers are not sure when they will arrive! ”

Kong Youde was also at a loss at this time, unable to think about it.

Mao Chenglu suddenly said: "Deputy Marshal, General Geng, I have a way, I don't know if the two of you are willing to go?" ”
