Chapter 962: Repentance

In fact, when Lin Lie returned to Beicheng again, the Mongol army had already retreated.

After most of the day's attack, even the warlike Mongolian warriors were already tired, the bows and arrows shot at the city had become sparse, and there were many casualties, so naturally they had to retreat temporarily to see the after-effects. However, what really shook the hearts of the Mongolian army was the news of the defeat that came back from the two cities in the east and west.

When he first knew that the onslaught in the direction of the west city was blocked, he didn't pay too much attention to it, because it was just a feint attack like the north city, but then he got the terrible information that the soldiers and horses who entered the east city were trapped in it.

He sent fast horses to investigate the movements of the eastern city, and soon brought back news of the killing and screaming in the city, but since the eastern gate was closed again, they did not know what was going on inside.

And not knowing the inside story is already the biggest problem, the closed city gate also means that the Ming army has not lost control of the city, so that the thousands of elites who rushed into the east city may have fallen into the trap of the Ming army, at this time I am afraid that they have fallen into a desperate situation.

At this time, even if you quickly dispatch troops to the east city to storm and rescue people, it is too late, after all, there are other Ming troops in the city who can rush to the rescue, and it is almost impossible to open the east gate to save people when the forces of both sides are equal. The only result was to let those thousands of elites die in vain in Dongcheng.

"Shi Qingyan ......" also gritted his teeth and called out the name of the enemy who harmed his army, at this moment he really regretted listening to the other party's suggestion, and actually sent the elite to win the east gate, but the result was to steal the chicken and rice, and took the lives of thousands of elite soldiers.

What worries him especially is that this will also be a considerable blow to the morale of the entire Mongolian army. Originally, everyone thought that they could easily break through Jizhou, after all, the information they got before was that the main general of the local defenders had been killed, and there must be no leader there. But now, not only is the opponent full of soldiers and horses, but even a clever plan to break the city that was easy to come up with has been broken by the enemy, which makes them not know how to attack the city.

Seeing that everyone had no intention of fighting, he could only temporarily lead the army back more than ten miles and set up camp to make another plan.

And now what is even more troublesome for him is that even retiring from the army at this time is not a very good choice. Because he attacked Jizhou this time, it was to let the Duoyan Department see his own strength, so that it could fall to the side of Warat. Now if they go away in embarrassment with the loss of troops and generals, I am afraid that the Duoyan Department, which is already swaying, will not listen to their words, and thus turn against the Ming Kingdom.

When the army retreated into the distance and settled down again, the first person sitting in the tent stared blankly ahead, constantly thinking of a solution. Now it seems that it is really difficult to be effective in the assault, but is there any other way to break the city? Is it really necessary to use the means of digging tunnels, or to divide troops to attack from the southern city?

However, after experiencing the defeat in Jizhou Dongcheng today, he didn't dare to believe Shi Qingyan's statement easily. No one dared to guarantee that what he said before would be the truth, and it could not be a trick used by the Ming army to lure them into the trap.

This night is destined to be sleepless for the first and Mongolian soldiers, and it is even more emotional

was terrified in his heart, but he still counted Shi Qingyan, who had been taken into custody. Although he was not thrown into the city prison, his body was firmly bound by iron chains at this time, let alone escape, it was extremely difficult to move his body. Moreover, in front of a small tent where he was imprisoned, there were several guards, and two of them were also good at Jinyi Guard, so that he couldn't even plead with his previous identity as deputy commander-in-chief.

At this time, Shi Qingyan was quite panicked, because he knew how serious his conviction was this time. Collaborating with the enemy is a capital crime for the border generals, not to mention that he still surrendered to the Mongols, and led them to attack Jizhou, once it is really investigated, it is very easy to be exterminated.

"If I had known that this was the result, I might as well have died outside the city......" Shi Qingyan thought with great regret, but there was no regret medicine in this world.

After a long sigh, he remembered the words that Lu Zhen had said in his ear when he was in the city before: "If you still want to save your life, you must cooperate with me." Next, it's up to you to perform. ”

A few words without a beginning or an end made Shi Qingyan, who was nervous at the time, not able to taste the meaning, but now, after thinking about it carefully, he had vaguely guessed Lu Jin's purpose. Obviously, the other party wants to use himself to make some articles, and the target is actually very easy to guess, in the entire Jizhou City, the only one who can make Wei Chengbo so interested is Liu Daorong, the prison army.

He wants me to help get rid of Grandpa Liu!

In terms of heart and eye, Shi Qingyan is indeed far more than Lin Lie, especially when it is related to the safety of his own family, his mind is even sharper, and he guesses Lu Jin's true purpose at once.

But then, he fell into doubts again, what did Lu Zhen want him to do, and what method would he use to deal with Liu Daorong?

Just when he was a little uncertain about his intentions, a low cough suddenly came from outside the tent, and with a few inquiries from several guards outside, one of them had easily come to the tent and opened the curtain to enter.

The person who came was still holding an oil lamp in his hand at this time, so Shi Qingyan could also see its appearance clearly in this dark environment. He was not Lu Jin, but a henchman who was always by his side, which made his heart suddenly move, looking at each other with longing.

The person who came was Yao Gan, looking at this greedy and capricious villain, his eyes showed a trace of disdain and disgust unbearably. It wasn't until he remembered the task entrusted by his own lord that he adjusted his mentality slightly, put the oil lamp on the table next to him, and then looked at the other party condescendingly, and only after a while did he say: "Shi Qingyan, do you know that the sin you committed this time is enough to kill you?" ”

"The end ...... The last general knows, and asks Wei Chengbo to spare his life...... Shi Qingyan's body trembled, and he quickly fell to the ground, grabbing his head and begging for mercy.

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, the disdain in Yao Gan's eyes became more and more serious: "The mistakes you have made are extremely serious, if you don't make up for your mistakes, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reduce the crime." ”

"The last general is willing to do anything to make amends, and only ask the adults to spare my life." At this time, Shi Qingyan really couldn't care about anything, and only thought about saving his life.

Yao Gan glanced at him again, and then said slowly: "It's useless to just say that, you have to have substance."

Performance is. Let me ask you, why did you deliberately get captured by the Tartars outside the city? ”

"Huh?" Shi Qingyan glanced up at the other party in some surprise, and couldn't guess what the other party meant at all. What do you mean that I was deliberately captured by the Tartars, am I stupid or crazy, and I can't think so much about being deliberately captured by them?

Seeing that he didn't understand, Yao Gan said again: "In other words, who did you deliberately ask for orders to leave the city, and then deliberately defeated and captured by the Tartars, so as to lead them into my east gate?" ”

Didn't I be forced out of the city by Lin Lie and the others to fight the Tartars? Shi Qingyan wanted to reply like this, but when the words came to his lips, and when his mind turned, an idea suddenly came to him, and his expression moved, and he already understood Lu Jin's intentions a little.

This is to let himself detain the charge of collusion to Liu Daorong! The other party's intention is already quite obvious, that is, he wants to confess that he asked for his life to fight because he was instructed by Liu Daorong, and then there will be the defeat outside the city, and the result of his failure to be captured. Subsequently, he met with the leaders of the Tartars and proposed to them a conspiracy to cooperate with the defenders of the eastern city......

In this way, Liu Daorong and himself will be burdened with the felony of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and Lu Zhen and them will become the heroes who turned the tide. After understanding all this, Shi Qingyan's body suddenly trembled, and his heart was even more cold, this guy is so vicious, this is no longer revenge for human life, but to eradicate Liu Daorong and his entire family!

At the same time of being frightened, Shi Qingyan really regretted it, he knew that Lu Zhen was so vicious, he shouldn't have cooperated with Liu Daorong in the first place, and it was actually good to be a deputy commander-in-chief.

But again, there is no regret medicine in the world, since he has done everything before, he will have to pay the corresponding price now.

Looking at his expression, from puzzlement to panic, and then to horror, Yao Gan guessed that he already knew the true purpose of his visit, so he said: "Now you have two choices, either you can carry down the charge of treason with the enemy alone, and then the court will destroy you, maybe even your three clans may not be able to keep it." Or, or to explain the culprit behind the scenes that made you do all this, so that maybe the court can still open up to you and your people at this point. The choice is yours. ”

"I ......" In fact, Shi Qingyan has nothing to hesitate about this, how could a selfish and capricious person like him not hesitate to die in order to protect Liu Daorong? He just felt that this matter was a little unreliable, and he was worried that he would still be unable to escape death after helping them point out Liu Daorong.

However, the other party obviously didn't give him much time to think about it: "If you don't say it again, I'll go back and report everything." ”

"I say, I say!" Under the fear, Shi Qingyan couldn't take care of it anymore, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he had to work hard to protect himself: "It was the prison army Liu Daorong Liu Gonggong, who handed me a letter, saying that he had colluded with the Tartars earlier, so he asked me to go out of the city to deliver the news by fraud......"

Seeing that he was so good, he quickly told the inside story he needed, and Yao Gan couldn't help but laugh with satisfaction. It seems that this person is indeed a good material for conspiracy, and even the evidence was told so quickly!
