Wang Huaqiang didn't bother to talk nonsense with this guy, so he directly changed the topic: "Li Guangshi, how much grain is stored in the granary in the city now?" How did you know that our army was coming here? Why did you close the city gates when you saw our army and try to confront it? One by one, they are recruited from the truth!"

Li Guangshi bowed his head and said respectfully: "General Wang, in fact, the villain has always been committed to the imperial court, although he was persecuted by the evil thief of Zhou Shiju, but he never followed him to burn and loot civilians, and has been looking for opportunities to make meritorious contributions, but the villain only has a thousand soldiers in his hands, and he is weak, and the imperial court does not have a large-scale crusade force in Lingnan now, and the small one has the intention to kill the thief, and he has no power to return to heaven!"

A while ago, the small one stayed in this Shixing City, that Zhou Shiju's younger brother Zhou Shidao brought their four thousand soldiers from Bentong to garrison here, and the villain did not dare to act rashly, until a few days ago Zhou Shidao led the troops to leave Shixing to go to Donghengzhou, the villain expected that Zhou Shiju would not go well in attacking the city and would transfer people to reinforce it, so he began to secretly protect the granary in the city. ”

Li Guangshi said and waved his hand to the back, and more than two dozen barbarians at the city gate who looked like he was guarding his own soldiers hurriedly stepped forward, carrying the heads of two barbarians in their hands, and Li Guangshi's face was full of smiles: "These are the Zhou Shiju Department who ran to Shixing City last night to report the news, they were guarding the camp at the time, and after witnessing the Tianwei of the imperial army, they were so frightened that they ran to Shixing overnight, and wanted to pull us to escape together."

Hmph, as soon as the villain heard it, he knew that the opportunity was coming, and immediately beheaded these anti-thieves, just to show the villain's heart to the court, General Wang. There were 40,000 stone of military rations in the city. Most of them were harvested by Zhou Shiju's rebels who persecuted the people in the surrounding villages. The villain has been sealing these military grain warehouses since yesterday for the needs of the army.

As for the move to close the city gate, it was the villain who was worried that Zhou Shiju's defeated army would return to the city, after all, the villain had few people, in case they were allowed to burn the granary after entering the city, which affected the supply of the army, the villain's sin would be great. Therefore, once the villain was confirmed to be the army of the imperial court, he immediately opened the city and surrendered. Please also ask General Wang to learn clearly!"

Wang Huaqiang sneered in his heart, this Li Guangshi's honey-bellied sword is definitely not a good person, those heads are still dripping with blood, obviously newly killed, eighty percent is that this Li Guangshi is still lucky, and he doesn't believe that Zhou Shiju's army will be finished so soon, so he stayed in the city and watched, and when he saw the three thousand heads, he knew that what these people said was true, in order to exchange his life. Let's kill people first, and make meritorious contributions.

But Wang Huaqiang also knows it. You can't kill the barbarians along the way, at least Li Guangshi, who has shown his attitude to surrender, if he even kills him, it will only make all the barbarians who followed Wang Zhongxuan fight to the end.

The killing force was already done yesterday, and the next thing needed was to have someone spread this terrible news, and this thousand defenders were the most suitable people to do this, which is why Wang Huaqiang made up his mind to accept surrender from the beginning today.

It's just that Wang Huaqiang now thinks that this Li Guangshi is really slippery, and it's hard to say what will happen if he really goes to Wang Zhongxuan, maybe he is playing duplicity for himself, so Wang Huaqiang sneered: "Li Guangshi, didn't you say that you want to make meritorious contributions?" That will give you a chance now, how about you take these 1,000 people and these 3,000 heads back to Wang Zhongxuan? ”

Li Guangshi's face changed greatly, he fell to his knees with a "plop", and cried: "General Wang, if you want to kill the villain, you can do it now, why borrow that Wang Zhongxuan's knife again." The villain opened the city to let you in, and went back with the head, but I was afraid that Wang Zhongxuan would kill the little one alive to vent the hatred in his heart!"

Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed, murderous, stabbing Li Guangshi's heart cold, and his voice was cold and cruel: "Li Guangshi, no matter how fanciful you say, you are gathering people to make trouble, just this one, it is not too much to punish your nine clans, surrendering and not killing means that you will not be executed on the battlefield, but now it is not a battlefield, but an afterthought, you can't escape death, I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, if you don't know how to lift, then I will kill you and your people now, and no one will be left!"

As soon as Wang Huaqiang's words fell, the guards who were holding Li Guangshi all pulled out their knives and put them on Li Guangshi's neck, only to see that Li Guangshi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, flowing down his sideburns, and dripping onto the bright steel knife, his face barely squeezed out a smile, but his neck did not dare to turn around, for fear of cutting those knives: "General Wang, how dare you disobey your orders, just send them to death like this, and it will not do you any good." ”

Wang Huaqiang said coldly: "You don't have to die, I just want you to go back with these heads, you don't have to say anything about your surrender." Wang Zhongxuan is not a fool, if you are willing to go back with the head, it means that your heart is still towards him, and he will not take the initiative to kill you, at most he will be punished. ”

Li Guangshi wanted to shake his head, but as soon as he moved, there was more blood marks on his neck, and he hurriedly stopped his movements and said: "General Wang, you don't know, this time Wang Zhongxuan started an incident, he and Zhou Shiju's tribe sent tens of thousands of troops, and a relatively small scale like ours will send out a thousand people, or even hundreds of people, all of whom are forced to come by them, Wang Zhongxuan and their big mountains have long wanted to annex our small mountains, find this excuse for him, and don't take the opportunity to destroy us!"

Wang Huaqiang laughed suddenly, he waved his hand, and motioned to several guards to move the knife away: "Li Guangshi, you don't have to worry too much, things are not so bad, you go back with these heads, Wang Zhongxuan knows that even the army raised by Zhou Shiju is over, and your thousand people will not play a role, not only that, but you also go back with the heads of these people, doesn't this show your loyalty to Wang Zhongxuan."

Zhou Shiju's entire army was wiped out, and the other commanders who were coerced by Wang Zhongxuan as you said were also panicked, if Wang Zhongxuan killed you at this time, they would definitely betray their relatives and leave. So he's not so stupid, you don't have to worry about your safety at all. ”

Li Guangshi gritted his teeth, raised his head and said loudly: "General Wang, there is a powerful dog-headed military advisor by Wang Zhongxuan's side, he must be able to see your intention to let the villain go back with the head, the villain just goes back by himself, and he can't bring these thousand clansmen back to die, and ask General Wang to open the net!"

Wang Huaqiang's heart moved when he heard this, he didn't have time to interrogate Zhou Shiju, but this question also bothered him for a long time, and when he heard this Li Guangshi himself say it, he hurriedly asked: "Who is that dog-headed military master, do you know his origin?" ”

Li Guangshi perked up and hurriedly said: "General Wang, this military advisor is in his thirties, surnamed Ren, it seems that he used to be a state Sima in Nanchen, after Nanchen is finished, this person does not want to be an official of the Sui Dynasty, so he absconded alone, this time Wang Zhongxuan's incident was instigated by this person."

By the way, it seems that he is a relative of a general surnamed Ren in the Southern Dynasty. This person is very dark, and he has been persuading Wang Zhongxuan and Zhou Shiju to find Nan Chen's clan and raise troops in their name. ”

Wang Huaqiang knew it in his heart, presumably this person was Ren Zhong's family, and he had been a state Sima, and he would soon be able to find out his bottom in detail, this person could think of playing the banner of the Nanchen clan, and his knowledge was naturally much higher than that of these barbarians, and he had a fight with the white-faced military division who escaped in Jiangnan, he followed up and asked: "Li Guangshi, after the war yesterday, did this person come to you?" ”

Li Guangshi smiled bitterly: "Before the war yesterday, this surnamed Ren slipped away first, and listened to the thieves guarding the camp who said that he went directly to the south, and he didn't even return to the camp, so he must have run to Wang Zhongxuan, if he was here with the villain, the villain would definitely tie him up and dedicate him to General Wang." If this person doesn't come to Shixing, he must also be on guard against the villain, if the villain goes back to Wang Zhongxuan, he will definitely instigate Wang Zhongxuan to kill the villain. ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "Li Guangshi, you said that you want to serve the imperial court, this is an opportunity for you, you can't just talk about it, but take action, now I want you to go to Wang Zhongxuan, it is to give you a chance to act, your mouth is very good at talking, when the time comes, it depends on how you say it." But one thing is for sure, if you dare to say half a word, you and your men will be killed right now. (To be continued......)
