Chapter 596: A Great Victory
The unexpected change on the Goose Head Peak stunned almost everyone on the Goose Xiang Ridge, including Lin Zhaoding, the general soldier of Yunnan who was still on the ridge behind Xu Chengming and his own soldiers, and Hou Liangzhu, the general soldier of Sichuan who was a little farther away.
These people heard the cry from the goose head peak from a distance, and they all felt it in their hearts.
Lin Zhaoding knew that Xu Chengming did not succeed, and thought that the Shuixi Yi people on Goose Head Peak had infighting.
And Hou Liangzhu thought that it was Xu Chengming who led his troops to finally hit the goose head peak along the ridge and achieved the great achievement of killing An Bangyan, and he felt a sense of loss in his heart, and secretly sighed that the sky was unfair.
Qin Liangyu, a woman, easily killed Yu Chongming in the Red Tu River and obtained the head of Yu Chongming, because she was lucky, and she was not present, she did not participate, so naturally she had nothing to say.
But this time, he took the lead in attacking Exiangling and took the lead in finding the only remaining main force of Yi soldiers under An Bangyan, but in the end, the biggest credit was taken away by Xu Chengming, don't you think about it?
Just as Hou Liangzhu stomped his feet and sighed, Xu Chengming did not stop at all, and saw Wu Azhan's department, who was desperately blocking the ridge and fighting with him, suddenly turned around and retreated, and shouted loudly "The king is dead" and "Avenge the king" or something, and in shock, he led his soldiers all the way across the trail on the ridge.
At this time, the drizzle and dense fog on the Exiang Ridge have been blown away a lot by the mountain wind, and the rain and fog are still there, but they are very thin.
Xu Chengming, who rushed through the narrow ridge on the Goose Xiang Ridge, just stepped on the Goose Head Peak, and he had a panoramic view of the small peak.
Hundreds of Shuixi Yi soldiers were desperately attacking around more than a dozen men in official and military uniforms, and every move and style was a desperate way of playing, so that the dozen or so officers and soldiers couldn't help but retreat, and they were about to fall off the cliff.
Seeing that there were officials and soldiers on Goose Head Peak, Xu Chengming seemed to suddenly think of something.
But at this time, seeing that this group of officers and soldiers was in danger, he didn't care about thinking about anything else, shouted loudly, and led his headquarters to rush forward.
With the addition of Xu Chengming's troops and the continuous increase of officers and troops on the back cliff of Goose Head Peak, the battle on Goose Head Peak was quickly settled.
It didn't take long for Lin Zhaoding and Hou Liangzhu to rush to the top of the goose head peak with their own soldiers, crowding the small peak.
Hou Liangzhu's lonely figure just appeared on the goose head peak, Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding both rushed over, and successively clasped their fists and said: "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it!" Brother, congratulations to Mr. Hou for this great achievement! ”
Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding finished saying congratulations without smiling, but they confused Hou Liangzhu, who didn't know what was going on.
Seeing Hou Liangzhu's dazed look, Xu Chengming pulled out a person from the team behind him, pointed at the person and said: "The old saying is that giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, but after today, my brother wants to say that a son should be like Hou Tianxi!" ”
After Xu Chengming finished speaking, without waiting for Hou Liangzhu to react, he pulled the young officer who cut off An Bangyan's head with his own hands to the front.
This young officer, who was only about 20 years old, had a dark complexion but thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the large and small scars on the brow bones, the bridge of his nose and cheeks destroyed his upright facial features, but they added a terrifying ruthlessness to him, and at first glance he was a battle-hardened pawn.
As soon as the young officer arrived in front of Hou Liangzhu, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The child greets his father!" ”
This young officer in his twenties is none other than Hou Liangzhu's eldest son, Hou Tianxi.
Hou Liangzhu suddenly saw that his son, who had not been seen for several months, was also on the Goose Head Peak, and was surprised for a while, but he didn't think about beheading An Bangyan, only to see that his face was first happy, and then suddenly said solemnly: "At this time in the army, I and you only have dignity and humility, where did the father and son come from?!" ”
Hearing Hou Liangzhu's words, the young officer named Hou Tianxi continued: "Hou Tianxi, the secretary of the deputy general army of Sichuan, meet the lord of the town!" ”
After Hou Tianxi finished speaking, he saw his father Hou Liangzhu nodded, and then continued: "Humble duty was ordered by Deputy General Deng to raid Goose Head Peak, fortunately not dishonored, beheaded the thief chief An Bangyan, the head of the head is here, specially dedicated in front of the Lord of the Town, please check the Lord of the Town!" ”
As soon as Hou Tianxi finished saying this, Hou Liangzhu's head buzzed, and he didn't hear the words of his son in front of and behind, but only heard the sentence "Kill the thief chief An Bangyan".
Next, Hou Liangzhu was stunned and took An Bangyan's hideous head from his son Hou Tianxi's hand, held it in front of him with both hands and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said loudly: "My son killed An Bangyan!" My son killed Ahn Bangyan! Hahahaha! ”
Hou Liangzhu, who had been indignant and depressed for a while, suddenly burst out laughing after roughly understanding the joints.
At this moment, Hou Liangzhu's heart was extremely happy, and he learned that it was his son who beheaded An Bangyan with his own hands, but he was happier than anyone under his own command, even if he personally killed An Bangyan.
Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding watched Hou Liangzhu smug and laughing, and their hearts were quite uncomfortable.
But the matter has come to this point, and both of them are generals who can afford to let go, so when Hou Liangzhu finished laughing, he once again stepped forward to congratulate Hou Liangzhu's Sichuan army on their great achievements.
Xu Chengming also said: "This battle can be described as a great victory! Not only did he completely annihilate the only remaining 3,000 Yi soldiers under An Bangyan's command, but also the tiger father had no dog son, and Tian Xixian's nephew also unexpectedly beheaded An Bangyan! But—"
Speaking of this, Xu Chengming turned his head to look at the dozen or so people who were being guarded by his soldiers not far behind him, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "However, if you can't properly dispose of these dozen people, the victory of Exiangling will still be a fly in the ointment!" ”
At this time, Lin Zhaoding also looked at Hou Liangzhu and said: "If you cut the grass and don't remove the roots, the spring breeze blows and grows again!" These people are all the descendants of the Shuixi clan, and if they don't kill them, they will have consequences, and they must not stay! ”
Hou Liangzhu's son has just made a great contribution to beheading An Bangyan, and Hou Liangzhu's own status has immediately risen, and it is just a blink of an eye, and the three general soldiers of Yunguichuan, who were originally competing with each other for the limelight, have unknowingly become headed by Hou Liangzhu.
Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding both came to ask for Hou Liangzhu's opinion.
As a Sichuan general soldier born in Xuyong, Hou Liangzhu wanted Zhen-Xiong, Xuyong, Lin Zhou and other places, as for the Shuixi region in northwest Guizhou, he was not very interested.
Especially now that he has won An Bangyan, he doesn't care who the land of Shuixi will belong to in the future.
However, this problem is different for Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding.
In particular, Xu Chengming, who was born in the local health center in Guizhou, and the hereditary health center land, which borders the west of the water, and is abandoned by others like a footwalk, is a great opportunity for him to expand his own land and production.
Even if most of the rolling mountains and forests are barren and cannot be cultivated for a while, it is still a foothold that can be passed on to future generations!
If the lineage of the Shuixi clan is not extinguished, in order to stabilize the land of Shuixi, the imperial court may choose one of them to make him hereditary ambassador of Shuixi according to the previous practice.
If this is the case, what is he fighting hard with his soldiers for, and what can he get?
After Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding finished saying those words, they looked at Hou Liangzhu and waited for his decision.
At this moment, Zhou Shiru, who was once again keenly aware of the danger, suddenly shouted: "Lord Commander! It is easy to level the water in the west, but it is difficult to control the water in the west! I am a talent from Guiyang Mansion, and I have a fame! I have been in Shuixi for more than ten years, and I know everything about Shuixi, and in the future, the imperial court will govern Shuixi, and the students will be able to help you! ”
When Hou Liangzhu heard this, he frowned, he already had a decision in his heart, and said: "It's just a dozen chaotic ministers and thieves, the soldiers on Goose Xiangling are fierce and dangerous, and the swords and guns have no eyes, where can I care who is who!" ”
After Hou Liangzhu said this, he grabbed the bun on An Bangyan's head with one hand, and held the hand of his son Hou Tianxi with the other, and walked towards the ridge on the goose ridge.
Behind him, more than a dozen screams soon rang out.
An Bangyan's An Alun, An Bangyan's mastermind Zhou Shiru, An Shi's younger brother An Shi and An Luan, and the few surviving Dongxi Tumu people who followed An Shi to kneel and beg at the last moment, all died on the Goose Head Peak at this moment.
Xu Chengming and Lin Zhaoding divided their heads and handed them over to the personal soldiers around them, and the Shuixi Yi soldiers captured at the foot of the Freedom Mountain came to identify their identities as a certificate for Zhu Xieyuan to give the Dian soldiers and Guizhou soldiers a meritorious service.
Of course, people are not equal to each other, at least different people have different prices at their heads.
The merit of beheading a Tumu leader is far greater than the decapitation of an ordinary soldier.
And the merit of beheading a descendant of the Shuixian clan is naturally higher than the decapitation of the head of the earth.
As for the beheading of rebel chieftains such as Hao Chongming and An Bangyan, it is enough to exchange a general for the position of a marquis or earl.
