Chapter 64: Trickery

The cold wind is blowing, the night is dark and the wind is high, and the night kills people. Kong Jie began to act, three hundred people, taking advantage of the night to pile up the cut reeds into piles.

Then a few bundles of reed grass were pulled behind each horse, and countless haystacks were set up on the periphery of the entire Lancheng, and more than three hundred people were scattered.

"Boss, are we going to separate a hundred people and set fires, and the remaining two hundred brothers will kill them together?" The bolt asked, he now admired Kong Jie's five-body throw.

Kong Jie shook his head: "No, the enemy army will definitely flee south, I only need to take twenty people to stop them."

The bolt was taken aback: "Boss, according to the line, Lancheng is more than 800 enemies."

"Twenty people are enough, listen to my orders and disperse!" Kong Jie waved his hand confidently.

According to the instructions, everyone spread out in all directions through the night, and Kong Jie only left Bolt and other twenty people by his side.

"Ignition!" Kong Jie continued to give orders, and then the crowd began to set the piles of reeds on fire, and some soldiers set fire to the reeds tied behind the horses, and galloped back and forth.

Soon, panicked voices began to be heard from the enemy battalion. Zhan Yunpeng looked at the countless torches around him, and expected that the enemy had sent out a large army this time. His own 800 people are not enough to stuff their teeth, and the only way out at the moment is to leave Lancheng and flee south.

"Withdraw! Everyone, get out! Zhan Yunpeng took the lead in stepping on the war horse, and was about to rush out with a few relatives.

Don't leave now, but when. Zhu Wen's army surrounded him, and he couldn't run away anymore.

The sound of hooves rattled and suddenly a hurried sound of horses' hooves disturbed the calm outside the camp.

Listening to the voice, the number of people was very small, which made Zhan Yunpeng feel a little more at ease. But when he saw the faces of the people who galloped into the camp, he panicked, Zhu Wen's people.

"Prepare for war!" After all, it was the battlefield experience that won people, and Zhan Yunpeng quickly calmed down after a short panic.

The people on the horse were Kong Jie and them, and they saw Kong Jie stop his horse: "Is this how the people of the King of Chu (Zhao Kuangning) greeted the distinguished guests?"

Zhan Yunpeng saw that the other party was not hostile, and immediately waved his hand to let his subordinates temporarily give up the attack: "Who is Your Excellency?"

Kong Jie clasped his fists: "Kong Jie, the partial colonel of the Beijing Infantry Army, this must be General Zhan."

Zhan Yunpeng returned the salute: "It's easy to say."

Kong Jie didn't talk nonsense, he turned over and dismounted and came to Zhan Yunpeng: "General Zhan, your department has now been surrounded by my army, and it is really impossible to escape, I am hereby ordered by King Liang to persuade you to surrender."

Zhan Yunpeng was furious: "Zhu Wen brought disaster to the country and the people, killed the monarch and the dog thief, let me surrender that is a fantasy!"

Kong Jie pointed to the soldiers beside him: "General Zhan, you are not afraid of death, but don't you want to think about the soldiers around you." King Liang has an order, if he is willing to surrender and submit to the court, he will not be blamed for the past. Those who are stubborn will be killed! ”

Zhan Yunpeng was taken aback, Zhu Wen was cruel and he had already heard of it. If he refuses to surrender and angers this person, I am afraid that more than 800 people here will not survive, and they will be hesitant for a while.

Kong Jie saw Zhan Yunpeng wavering, so he struck while the iron was hot: "My father is Kong Lin, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Kong Wei, the former minister of the motherland. I swear in the name of my father and great-grandfather that if General Zhan is willing to lay down his arms and surrender, King Liang will definitely use you again. ”

Kong Lin is a great Confucian, and Kong Wei Qingming is even more spread in the world. Zhan Yunpeng knew that if he was dying, there was only one way to die, he turned his head to look at the subordinates around him who had followed him to fight everywhere, and everyone's faces were full of helplessness and despair.

Zhan Yunpeng sighed and put down the long sword in his hand. When the soldiers saw the commander surrender, they threw away their weapons.

Kong Jie was overjoyed, and more than 20 people behind him quickly surrounded the generals around Zhan Yunpeng, and shouted: "Put down your weapons and stand in two rows, quickly!"

There were more than 800 soldiers, and there were only seventy or eighty people around Zhan Yunpeng. Most of these people were generals in the army, and as soon as they landed, the remaining soldiers were like headless flies, so they had to be captured one after another.

The bolt is well versed in the essentials of quick battle, sounding the horn for the police, and the more than 200 people outside the battalion heard the order and moved closer to the Zhanyunpeng battalion to take over the surrender.

Zhan Yunpeng sighed: "I received the great favor of the King of Chu, but I failed to get retribution, and today I face His Royal Highness the King of Chu with no shame!" As he spoke, he swung his sword and wiped it off his neck.

said that it was too late, and then it was fast, Kong Jie's long sword was handed out, and with a 'dang' sound, he knocked down Zhan Yunpeng's long sword: "If General Zhan wants to be martyred, he is not in a hurry at this time, it is better to do it after returning to Beijing next time."

Zhan Yunpeng was taken aback: "I heard that Your Majesty has become a puppet of Zhu Wen, how can you face the saint?"

Kong Jie clenched his fists: "General Zhan Gaoyi, if you don't speak here, General Zhan will understand."

After dawn, Zhan Yunpeng finally knew that he had completely fallen for Kong Jie's poisonous scheme. What Zhu Wen's army is pressing, the other party is only 300 people. His 800 soldiers took advantage of the time and place, and if he faced a head-on attack, Kong Jie had no hope of winning at all.

But now that he has become a defeated army, it is too late to regret it.

Zhao Kuangning, Shannan Dongdao Jiedu envoy, entered the king of Chu.

The Tang Dynasty was in decline, and none of the feudal towns obeyed orders. Datang is only a nominal king, and in fact it is no longer of any use.

The reason why the vassal kings in various places did not dare to ascend the throne as emperors was afraid that other vassal kings would attack them en masse. The current world and the three-legged situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty are similar, but the difference is that this world is more chaotic.

The tribute taxes of the vassal kings to the imperial court have long been cut off, and giving the imperial court is tantamount to fueling Zhu Wen's power.

And only Zhao Kuangning and his brother Zhao Kuangming went to the court every year to pay taxes.

The reason is that the Zhao Kuangning brothers recognize the orthodoxy of the Tang Dynasty in their bones, and he longs for the Son of Heaven to reign over the world.

The vassal kings of various places raised troops, all under the banner of reviving the Tang Dynasty. Fengxiang Li Maozhen, Xichuan Wang Jian, Jin King Li Keyong, only Zhao Kuangning really wants to restore the Tang Dynasty.

He sent Zhan Yunpeng to Lancheng this time in order to test Zhu Wen's hypocrisy. Li Ke used Chen Bing to Luzhou, and Zhu Wen had to defend himself, so he wanted to attack back and forth.

Who knew that this Zhan Yunpeng actually fell for Kong Jie's poisonous scheme, and the eight hundred soldiers became soldiers overnight and were escorted all the way to Luoyang.

……

In the Liang Wangfu, everyone was buzzing and arguing.

Li Zhen was the first to attack: "Kong Lin, you keep saying that your family has only 300 people to take Lancheng, and it has been more than a month, and there is no news." These 300 people must have been wiped out, what are you guilty of in this matter! ”

To be honest, Kong Lin didn't have a bottom in his heart, since Kong Jie went to Lancheng, he was worried all day long. Although he told his son about the plan that Mr. Moron had given him, the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly, and who knew if the enemy would be smarter.

If the enemy sees through the plan set by Mr. Mo Long, not only will his son's life be lost, but the position of the commander of the left dragon and tiger army will also be lost.

Originally, Kong Lin and Mo Long planned to let their son get the position of commander of the Zuo Longhu army, so that Li Ji would finally have an army of his own in the capital. But now more than a month has passed, there is no news in front of him, and he is just as uneasy in his heart.
