Chapter 26 Repeatedly
With his second general, Hou Xuanyan didn't stop for a moment and went straight to the city gate.
Tu Guobao should have joined Wu Shengzhao, as long as he is not stupid, he knows that there is only one way to recapture Suzhou.
Otherwise, his Manchu master would not be able to easily let go of this dog who couldn't watch over the house.
As soon as he left Gu's house, a team of 100 soldiers and horses followed closely behind him. Qin He, who was the leader, walked out and said, "My lord, these are all my brothers, we have cut off our braids, and we hope that your lord will take them in." ”
Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "Keep up, let's go to Nancheng." ”
Since they have cut off their braids, they will not go to the Manchus again, otherwise they will be held accountable. In this case, staying by your side is also a good combat force.
On the tower of the southern city, Wu Zhikui was draped all over his body, holding his sword and looking around, full of spirit.
Seeing Hou Xuanyan, his expression was complicated, and he just wanted to move to greet him, but for some reason he retracted his steps.
Hou Xuanyan saw everything in his eyes and sneered.
"General Wu, Xuan Yan congratulates the general for his first contribution after establishing the Ming Dynasty Salhu."
Wu Zhikui saw that he was taking credit for himself, and his heart was overjoyed, and he secretly said that Xiaohou knew the current affairs so well, should he give him a general to do. Hey, forget it, this kid has a bad stomach, it's too dangerous for him to be in charge, so it's better to stay by his side and be a military advisor.
Thinking of this, Wu Zhikui's attitude became affectionate, and he stepped forward to hug Hou Xuanyan and said, "Without your strategy, I can succeed." ”
Hou Xuanyan made a fool of himself, leaned close to his ear, and said: "General, our troops are not as good as Taihu Wu Yi, this Suzhou..."
Wu Zhikui didn't expect that he had not yet been appointed, so he would exercise the duties of a military advisor, and he had a good impression of him in his heart.
"What do you think?"
Hou Xuan played the face of a dog-headed military advisor, held a hand behind his back, shook his head and said: "If you wait for the national treasure of the earth to open the formation and come to attack the city, Wu Yi will have a reason to enter the city to defend against the enemy." In my opinion, it's better for us to take the initiative to attack, and then send troops to transfer Wu Yi to attack. If he agrees, he has listened to the general's orders, and the master-slave relationship has been decided. If he doesn't agree, then the righteousness is on our side. Wu Yi was afraid of the enemy's cowardice, how could he let him into the city. Moreover, we still hold Suzhou, where should the imperial court support whom, can it still be counted? ”
Wu Zhikui couldn't help nodding, and said in his heart that this Hou Xuanyan is really a competent military advisor.
"Good! Xuan Yan, follow me out of the city to defeat the lost dog of Tu Guobao, and I will protect you as a five-grade general. ”
Hou Xuanyan shook his head and said, "General, now that Suzhou has not been controlled by us, how can we do our best." You leave a group of men and horses, and I will control Suzhou City. ”
When Wu Zhikui heard that he wanted to keep his own people, he was even more relieved, if he had different intentions, how could he let his own people stay. When the time comes, his henchmen will definitely kill him first.
"He Zhiwu, you stay and cooperate with Xuan Yan, remember, listen to him more."
"The last will obey."
After laughing, Wu Zhikui waved his hand and commanded his soldiers and horses to go out of the city, and together with Wu Yi of Taihu Lake, they attacked the national treasure.
Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief and secretly wiped the sweat from his palms.
"It's a big deal!"
...
After a night of fierce fighting, Tu Guobao and Wu Shengzhao were defeated after all, and they lost the city walls of Suzhou City, how could they be the opponents of the two Wu.
"Happy, chase and kill the dog thief of the earth national treasure for a night. The grandson's wretched spirit that he has eaten in Taihu Lake these days has finally been reported. ”
"Haha, he has today." His soldiers laughed playfully and catered to Wu Zhikui.
"And Wu Yi, who is also knowledgeable about current affairs, really obediently went to hunt down the remnants of the national treasure. This time, Xuan Yan has made the first contribution again, and when I go back, I will reward him heavily. ”
Suddenly, the soldier's eyes were sharp, and he shouted: "General, look, it seems that the one in front of you is our brother." Hey, isn't that what a general? ”
Wu Zhikui glared, and sure enough, it was He Zhiwu, walking dejectedly on the ancient road outside Suzhou.
Seeing the oncoming Wu Zhikui, He Zhiwu was even more ashamed, he walked to Wu Zhikui's horse and knelt down to ask for guilt.
"What's going on?"
"General, we fell for Hou Xuan's role as the thief monkey, Suzhou has been snatched by him and his subordinates have been driven out."
Wu Zhikui's eyes darkened, and he almost fell off his horse. He eased his mind and said angrily: "He is alone, there are only two shrimp soldiers and crab generals, how did he drive you out?" ”
He Zhiwu gritted his teeth and said viciously: "This thief monkey has long colluded with the gentry of Suzhou, and set up their family Ding Nursing Home as a Laoshizi Jiangsu and Zhejiang Restoration Division, and Feng Hou Xuanyan is the lord of Suzhou. The people in the city colluded with them, and drove their subordinates out of Suzhou, and said that they would let us attack Hangzhou in one go. ”
Wu Zhikui shook the horsewhip and made a bloody mark on He Zhiwu's body. The huge gap between the front and back made him lose his proportion. If it was in the past, he still remembered to win people's hearts, pretending to be generous, and stepped forward to comfort his subordinates.
"Rubbish! What's the use of leaving you? Hou Xuanyan is extremely vicious, how can I give up with such tricks. Brothers, follow me into Suzhou! ”
Under the city of Suzhou, Wu Zhikui scolded, and his soldiers also shouted loudly.
The banner of "Jiangsu and Zhejiang Suppressing the Righteous Division" erected at the head of the city was fierce in the wind, and Wu Zhikui wanted to vomit blood.
"Hou Xuanyan, you come out for me!"
Hou Xuanyan, the head of the city, shook the feather fan lightly, revealing half of his head cheaply.
"What did General Wu call me for?"
"Hou Xuanyan, you treacherous villain, return me to Suzhou!"
"Your Suzhou? Can there be a document of appointment from the imperial court? ”
"Little thief! Don't deceive people too much, be careful that I break the city, I want you to look good! ”
Hou Xuanyan laughed, and then scolded with a straight face: "Wu Zhikui, you are shrinking into Taihu Lake, afraid of the enemy. Lao Tzu made a clever plan to recover Fuzhou from Qinggou, you actually want to rely on the strength of the army and come to rob it, but there is still a little shame? If you continue to go south, pursue the national treasure of Tu, and recover Hangzhou, I will still be a general of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, you will only be a military ruffian who is on the one side of the disaster and takes advantage of the country's difficulties to rebel and rebel. If you want to break the city, I'll let you see if Suzhou is a place where you can fight if you want to. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, countless heads suddenly appeared on the upper floor of Suzhou City, waving red military flags and shouting loudly.
Wu Zhikui looked at the towering Suzhou city wall, sighed, turned around and said, "Let's go, go back to Taihu Lake!" ”
