Chapter 37 Under the Original Deer City
It's also funny, Ye Cun's organs have been calculated, but after all, he has calculated himself. The next three thieves www.biquge.info are based in Fubo County, and the original Lu County is the horn. Relatively speaking, there are fewer thieves in the original Lu County, only 6,000 people, and it is easy to attack. But there are 15,000 people in Fubo County, and Ye Cun will have a headache if he goes. It depends on how he will respond to the enemy, and whether there is Zhu Mian's amazing move to bring down the crowd.
Qiu Yi led the army on the way to Yuanlu, and divided the vanguard army into two teams, one team of men and horses was responsible for the front, sentinel, guard and response to the enemy; The other team is responsible for building roads, building bridges, supporting the front and other miscellaneous tasks. This made Qiu Yi feel that the vanguard army was a little unworthy of its name, and the chores should be handed over to another special auxiliary soldier to do, not to be done by the vanguard army.
Che La, Che Jing and his son are in the front, and Qiu Yi will lead Qiu Gong, Tian Palm, and Jiang Qisan to support them. In the process of building the road, Qiu Yi asked Jiang Qi, the general of the tun, for information about the original Lu County. Qiu Yi and Xi asked: "General Jiang Tun, you have been in Qisi County for a long time, I don't know what the temperament of the three thieves of Fubo and Yuanlu is?" ”
Jiang Qi was flattered and bent down and replied: "If you don't ask Qiu Jun, the villain will be clear." The three thieves of Fubo and Yuan Lu are headed by Qu Gong, and Jiang Gong and Shen become Zuo. The three thieves commented on the insidiousness of the Qu Palace, the soft Jiang Palace, and the tyranny of Shen Cheng. ”
Qiu Yi thought for a while and asked, "It's easy to understand that the temperament is insidious and tyrannical, this is the basic temperament of a thief. But the soft temperament can also become a thief, which makes people a little confused. ”
Jiang Qi said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this Jiang Palace is not from the Taiping thieves, but a local nobleman, whose family assets are hundreds of millions, and there are thousands of servants, and he is famous in several counties in the east. And the same soft temperament is also well-known in counties such as the original deer. The wealth of the Jianggong family is not earned by himself, but left by his father and ancestors, because of his soft personality, so since he took over the clan power, he was often extorted by officials at all levels in the county. And Jiang Gong is not a stupid person, so he entrusts his family wealth under the protection of Taiping Dao. I didn't want Taiping Dao to make trouble at the beginning of the year, and Jiang Gong was widely involved in Taiping Dao, so I had to rebel under the pressure of Qu Gong and Jiang Cheng. ”
Qiu Yixi said: "Oh? In this way, the original intention of this Jiang Palace was not to make trouble, but it was just coerced by Taiping Dao, and it had to be done as a last resort? ”
Jiang Qiying said: "Yes and no, because the original deer chief is a relative of the Han family surnamed Liu, although the original deer chief was not killed by Jiang Gong, he also died because of Jiang Gong." Now it is difficult for Jiang Gong to ride a tiger, and he has to go all the way back. ”
Qiu Yi nodded, feeling a loss in his heart. Within a few days, Qiu Yi's front vanguard came to the outside of the original Lu County. From the psychological thoughts of the thieves in Yun County, Qisi County and Yuanlu County, the rebellion against the Han Court is always hesitant, after all, the orthodox prestige of the Han Court for hundreds of years is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is the first unified country in China. Even if there was a break in the middle, it still returned to the hands of the Liu family of the Han family after more than ten years.
These three places are all small traitors, without such a talented leader as Yingchuan Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Bocai, it will not be a big deal, even if there are thousands or tens of thousands of thieves, they are still waiting for the official army to come to the crusade.
Qiu Yi rode his horse 200 steps outside the city, and looked at the enemy situation from a distance with Che Latian Brown. I saw a thief general in his thirties on the city tower, his face was pale, panicked, holding the arrow stack and shouting constantly, and the thieves around him were also panicked carrying the materials to defend the city. As far as Qiu Yi could see, there were firewood, artemisia, hemp skin, felt blankets, thorns, kettles, hammers, long axes, long knives, long cones, long ladders, short ladders, big hooks, rolling logs, and stones, but everything that was of some use, or could be obtained, was prepared one by one.
Coupled with the moat several zhang wide, the rammed earth city wall three or four zhang high, Qiu Yi's eyelids jumped, although this river palace is soft, but it is very sufficient to prepare to defend the city. Even if the morale of the thieves is not high, if they storm the original deer city, they will suffer heavy casualties, which is a headache. The method of using soldiers, ten is to encircle, five is to attack, and multiple is divided, and the law of siege is a last resort. Now it seems that this original deer city is not a bone to gnaw on, it is not easy to attack.
Qiu Yi asked Che La beside him, "General Che Laotun, how can you capture this city?" ”
Che La shook his head and smiled: "The thief Jiang Palace is like a turtle, where does the old man have any way, he can only make siege equipment and attack hard." ”
Qiu Yi turned his head to look at Tian Brown again, Tian Palm has been doing things in silence since he was appointed as the general, never saying a word, and never thinking about what he would think, but since he came to investigate the enemy's situation, he always had to ask. Qiu Yi smiled and asked, "General Tian Tun, I don't know what kind of good ideas you have?" ”
Qiu Yi didn't expect him to open his mouth to answer, and he didn't want Tian Brown, who had always been dull, to speak, but only heard Tian Brown say: "Although the thieves are well prepared, the thief's will to defend the city is not strong, or he can use persuasion to surrender to slow down the enemy, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, and then carry out a sneak attack to take this city." ”
Qiu Yi was stunned for a moment, it turned out that he had also thought of a strategy to persuade him to surrender, but when he heard that Jiang Gong would help kill the Liu clan of the Han family, he dispelled this idea, but he never thought that persuasion to surrender could also be combined with the heart of the slow enemy. Che La groaned: "Soldiers are not tired of deceit, this strategy is feasible. ”
The three of them looked at each other and immediately hit their horses back. Qiu Yi shouted: "General Jiang Tun listens to the order, I order you to go to the city to persuade the thief Shoujiang Palace, I don't know if there is any objection?" ”
Jiang Qi opened his mouth and said squeaked: "The last general is afraid...... The last general is lowly and lowly, his tongue is not good, and he has no acquaintance with Jiang Gong......"
Qiu Yi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the two armies are fighting, if you don't kill the envoys, with the temperament of Jiang Palace, they won't kill you." You talk to Jiang Gong first, if Jiang Gong is moved, this pioneer will talk to him in person. ”
Qiu Yi said again: "Che Lao Tun General, how long does it take to make twenty ladders, ten well railings, and three rushing cars?" ”
Che La responded: "There are not enough craftsmen who know carpentry, and it will take at least ten days. ”
Qiu Yi said to Jiang Qi: "Did you hear it, you have ten days, talk slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Jiang Qi's face changed, and he finally agreed. Let the soldiers under his command find a white flag, ride a horse and raise the flag to the city, and after thinking for a long time, Fang Shaoqi shouted: "I am Jiang Qi, the vanguard of the rebel army, Jiang Qi, who is also a hundred generals, and I am specially sent to the original Lucheng by the order of the vanguard officer, and I also ask the city lord to let me enter the city to see me." ”
The city was quiet for a long time before someone ordered the drawbridge to be lowered and the city gate opened. Jiang Qi saw that there were no random arrows shooting down at the head of the city, and the city gate was opened for a small half, and a worried heart finally fell back into his belly, and he squeezed into the half-hidden city gate. At the same time, the five hundred vanguard troops also retreated and disappeared.
Jiang Qi was taken up to the city tower, and when he saw that there was no legendary knife and axe hand and oil pot, he immediately became bold. The majestic waist straightened, his hands arched slightly, and said to Jiang Gong, who was sitting in the city tower: "This general, Jiang Qi, has seen Jiang Gong. ”
As soon as he said this, he immediately angered the thieves on both sides, and they pulled out their knives one after another. Jiang Qi was excited, his legs were weak, he immediately knelt down, and kowtowed again and again: "Villain Jiang Qi, I have seen the Jiang City Lord." The two armies are fighting, and if they don't kill them, they ask the lord of Jiangcheng to spare their lives. ”
This move caused all the thieves to laugh, and the corners of Jiang Gong's mouth, who was full of fatigue, twitched, and asked, "What did the vanguard of the official army order you to do?" ”
Jiang Qi said: "Order the villain to persuade the city lord to surrender." ”
The thieves shouted, "What a big dog! Qu Shuai killed him......"
Jiang Qi was so shocked that he kowtowed again and again: "The two armies are fighting, and they will not be killed." The two armies are at war, and they don't cut ......"
Jiang Gong waved his hand indifferently, stopped the shouting of the generals, and asked, "Oh, I don't know what the officials and soldiers have to say?" ”
Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "Qiu Junhou didn't have anything to say, he just asked the villain to come and persuade him to surrender. ”
Jiang Gong frowned, and asked a few more questions, but Jiang Qi didn't know. A thief general said angrily: "Qu Shuai, this guy doesn't know that, this thief officer and soldier obviously didn't take us seriously." Why don't you drag him down and kill him! ”
Shocked, Jiang Qi kowtowed again, Jiang Gong frowned and said, "When you came, did the pioneer officer say anything?" ”
Jiang Qi thought for a while before saying: "Qiu Junhou asked General Chetun when he could make siege equipment, and General Chetun said that there were not enough craftsmen and it would take ten days. ”
Jiang Gong muttered to himself: "It turned out that he was just a random idler, not really came to persuade him to surrender." Yes, listening to your accent, you seem to be from the southeast counties of Runan? ”
Jiang Qi kowtowed and said, "Qu Shuai has good ears, and the villain is from Jiang Village, Qisi County, in the south. ”
Jiang Gong smiled and asked, "What a coincidence, it turns out that you are still a neighbor, get up and sit next to me and talk." Come on, bring a pot of good wine, and let Jiang Tun be shocked. ”
Jiang Qi was flattered and thanked again and again, Jiang Gong invited Jiang Qi to take a seat, personally took the spoon and saluted him, and asked, "General Jiang Tun, I don't know when you joined the official army?" Which branch does it belong to? ”
Jiang Qi drank a bottle, wiped his beard, and said with a flushed face: "I'm ashamed to say that the villain only joined the official army a few days ago. ”
"Oh?" Jiang Gong looked at Jiang Qi with some disbelief, Jiang Qi was busy telling his experience and entrusting him, and Jiang Gong nodded with some convincing. Jiang Gong asked about the details of the official army, Jiang Qi drank a few bottles of wine, and immediately explained it clearly, even how he was subdued in Qisi County, and he also explained it clearly.
When Jiang Gong heard that Zhu Mian rode down to 10,000 alone, he was also taken aback. When he heard that Zhu Mian was injured and had not arrived, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
When the sun set, Jiang Gong respectfully sent Jiang Qi out of the city, and Jiang Qi swayed back to the camp ten miles away, and handed over the order to Qiu Yi, saying that he could not persuade Jiang Gong to surrender. Qiu Yi was noncommittal, and only let Jiang Qi return to the camp to rest. Early in the morning of the second day, Jiang Qi was asked to enter the city to persuade him to surrender.
For example, on the third day, Jiang Qi and Jiang Gong sat opposite each other and drank, Jiang Qi smiled and said: "It's funny, yesterday's well fence was just made of a fight, and before anyone could go up to try it, it fell apart, fortunately it didn't hurt others, it's really lucky!" ”
Jiang Gong replied casually: "Yes, yes, Brother Jiang, you are drunk." The sun has set, Brother Jiang, you should go back too. ”
Jiang Qi waved his hand and said, "Anyway, if you want to enter the city tomorrow, you won't go back today." ”
Jiang Gong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is this good?" ”
Jiang Qi said: "It's okay, Qiu Junsima and Qiu Junhou have been worrying about the siege equipment for the past few days, and they have no intention of caring about me, I will go back tomorrow night, it will be the same." ”
Jiang Gong persuaded a few words, but he had to rely on him. Late at night, Jiang Gong sighed bitterly: "Fu Bo also has an official army to go, I wonder if Qu Gong Shen Cheng can defeat them?" The Tiger of Zhaoling is so powerful, and the Eagle of Zhaoling is afraid that it is not easy to deal with. The main team of the officers and soldiers is insufficient, and all they use is to think about the thieves, and their combat strength may be insufficient. In this way, I'm afraid I can keep it for half a year! Alas, the life of this thief is not known to be a head one day? ”
Jiang Gong was about to rest, when he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing from all sides of the city, and there was a sound of "the city is broken", Jiang Gong couldn't help but be shocked and his hands and feet were cold. Turning his head to look at the sleeping Jiang Qi, he said hatefully: "Damn, I fell for your slow enemy's plan." After that, he drew his sword and stabbed it with hatred, Jiang Qi screamed miserably, and died immediately.
Jiang Gong hurriedly rushed out of the county office, preparing to summon troops to meet the enemy.
