Chapter 237: Stubbornness
After Ji Anbang escaped from the camp, under the killing of Li Kui and others, the forbidden army in the camp was soon cleared. The fire deliberately lit by the rear battalion has also been extinguished.
When Lu Junyi and the others escorted Ji Anbang back to the camp, the Liangshan camp had already returned to calm, and only the smell of blood in the air reminded Ji Anbang that he was plotting here just now.
Ji Anbang saw that the Liangshan camp had recovered its calm so quickly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart gradually disappeared.
Lu Junyi escorted Ji Anbang to the big tent of the Chinese army, and all the leaders were already sitting in it.
Chao Gai was also overjoyed when he saw Lu Junyi and the three of them arresting Ji Anbang, and hurriedly shouted: "Quickly untie General Ji." ”
Hua Rong and Shi Wengong personally stepped forward to untie Ji Anbang.
Ji Anbang twisted his body, bumped into the two of them, and said to Chao Gai: "Ji was defeated and captured, and if he wants to kill, he will be killed, Ji only knows how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country in his life, and he will definitely not be with you." ”
Chao Gai said with a smile: "Ji Anbang, you are also a hero of the world, today's heroes, why bother to be obsessed and tend to be annihilated." If we don't think that we are from humble backgrounds, if we don't return to Liangshan, work together for the way of heaven, expand the territory, do a career, and unify the country in the future, we will have to be crowned with a wife and a son. How is it? ”
Ji Anbang sneered: "I have been a country in the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years, with more than 400 states in the north and south, and there are more than one million soldiers and horses. Only you, the grass cob, also want to usurp and rebel, just sit in the well and watch the sky, ignorant of the grass coar. ”
Wu Yong was conceited and sharp-toothed, and got up and reprimanded: "Ji Anbang, you are empty-handed, you are a general, you bow your head to power, you are shameless, and you are willing to be a thief and a hawk dog, can it be a pity!" Now that he has been captured here, he dares to be disrespectful to Liangshan heroes such as me, isn't it self-defeating. ”
Ji Anbang looked at Wu Yong and scolded: "You are just a rural teacher, with a lot of rhetoric and clever tongues, many court generals in this account are afraid that they will be moved by what you said to oppose the court." You waited for Liangshan Caokou to repeatedly resist the king's division, attack the city and plunder the land, kill the court officials, and even innocent, obviously the grass thief is just a thief, what day did you replace? What is the way to go? It's just that under the guise of doing the right thing for heaven, he cleverly confuses the public, and when he sees Fang La, Tian Hu, and Wang Qing making trouble, he can't help but jump out and rebel. Everyone is under your trap, and you must not deceive me surnamed Ji. Now that I am defeated, I have no shame to return to the city, and I am willing to die early. ”
Shi Wen respectfully advised: "The general has the courage of ten thousand people, and it would be a pity if he died like this." ”
Ji Anbang turned around and said: "I thought you were also a loyal and righteous person, but I didn't want to be a shameless person, how dare you talk to me again." ”
"Phew"
Shi Wengong turned sideways to avoid Ji Anbang's saliva and said no more.
When Shi Wengong first heard Ji Anbang's persuasion to surrender, he was also a little moved, but thinking about Chao Yong, he treated him very kindly, and as soon as he went up the mountain, he made him a commander like many Liangshan elders, commanding a thousand elite soldiers, and he took him with him when he attacked Zizhou, which can be said to be very trusting.
If you treat me as a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman.
Therefore, after Shi Wengong returned to the camp, he told Chao Yong about Ji Anbang's tricks.
In fact, Chao Yong also had some doubts in his heart, Shi Wengong's martial arts were only slightly inferior to Ji Anbang, even if he didn't support it, he could escape back to his own position. There were other leaders in front of the battle, and they definitely didn't panic and ran outside.
When Chao Yong heard Shi Wengong say this, he suddenly realized.
When night fell, he sent Shi Qian to watch at the city gate.
As soon as the Qingzhou forbidden army left the city, Shi Qian flew back, and it can be said that Ji Anbang's every move was under the monitoring of Liangshan.
Ji Anbang turned around and said to Chao Gai again: "You are just a puppet, how can He De dare to claim to be respectful." The nine clans who are not critical were punished, and it was too late to regret it. ”
Chao Gai was also furious when he saw Ji Anbang's poisonous tongue, and shouted: "Push it out for me and behead it." ”
Li Kui couldn't help it for a long time, and he wanted to jump up several times, but he was held down by Jiao Ting.
Now that Chao Gai has ordered, Jiao Ting will no longer stop him.
Li Kui rushed up with an arrow step, and with a swing of the big axe, he cut off Ji Anbang's head in public.
Ji Anbang's head fell to the ground, and his bones rolled straight to Wu Yong's feet before stopping.
Wu Yong glanced at it and sighed: "I will not realize until I die, this person is really a dog in the court!" ”
Chao Gai sighed: "It's a pity that such a good man has to die for that faint king." ”
Chao Yong watched Ji Anbang's headless corpse fall to the ground, blood flowing all over the ground, and frowned: "Tie Niu, don't drag the corpse out yet." ”
"Hey, hey"
Li Kui smirked, lifted Ji Anbang's foot, and dragged the corpse out, leaving only a long trail of blood.
Chao Gai asked everyone about the casualties of the soldiers and horses under his command, due to the careful arrangement in advance, each leader had a clear division of labor, after Ji Anbang fled, the remaining soldiers of the forbidden army had no will to fight, did not resist much, and they all surrendered, so there were not many casualties among the soldiers and horses in Liangshan.
The people chatted a few more words in the camp, and then they heard the sound of footsteps outside the tent from far and near.
Li Kui couldn't wait to grab it and open the curtain.
Chao Yong saw Guan Sheng, Xuanzan, Hao Siwen, Liu Tang, and Mu Hong all come back, and knew that the matter had not been done.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Tang entered the account, he said angrily: "I'm angry, but the dog official is as timid as a mouse." We disguised ourselves as a routed army and fled to the city, and let a few of the soldiers who had surrendered go to the city gate first. Unexpectedly, the dog prefect was afraid that we would take advantage of the situation to rob the city, so that the defeated soldiers would hide outside the city, and only when the imperial reinforcements came, would the city gate be opened. As soon as we called a few times, he let the arrows be released, and you said how we could make money to open the gates. ”
Li Kui said with a smile: "If I go, two plate axes will split the city gate." ”
Liu Tang glared at Li Kui and said, "Qingzhou City has a moat, he doesn't let the drawbridge come down, you swim over?" ”
Li Kui then remembered the moat, scratched his head and stopped talking.
Chao Gai frowned and said: "That dog official is so cautious, then he can only storm Qingzhou City, in this way, I am afraid that the casualties will not be small." ”
Chao Yong thought for a while and said: "Qingzhou and Zizhou are the first battles of my Liangshan Mountain, and it is necessary to fight quickly and fight my Liangshan prestige." In my opinion, it is better to blow up the city wall with black powder and capture Qingzhou. ”
Chao Gai shook his head and said: "Didn't you also say before that the black powder is very powerful, and if you use it, you are afraid that it will attract the imperial court to fight back with all its might, and it will be difficult to resist." Compared with the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the strength of Liangshan is still insufficient, so it is not good to use black powder at this time? ”
Chao Yong smiled: "If we use it many times, it will naturally cause panic in the Song Dynasty. But if we only use this time, it will be transmitted to the imperial court, but I am afraid that the ministers of the court will not believe in such powerful gunpowder, but think that the local officials will just use gunpowder to shirk their responsibilities. ”
Hu Yanzhuo nodded and said: "What Brother Yong said is that gunpowder in the Song Dynasty has also been used for many years, but it is just an explosion, spraying some poisonous smoke, iron thorns or something. It would be harder to convince them that gunpowder could blow through the walls than it would be for them not to scrape the people. ”
Wu Yong also nodded and said: "Brother Yong'er's plan is seeing through the weakness of the surname, and it can be used." ”
Chao Gai saw that everyone was saying this, so he also nodded and said, "Okay, then we will break Qingzhou tomorrow." ”
