Chapter Twenty-Three: The Late General

On February 20, the thieves had conquered Handan, the magistrate of Handan was killed, and the wealthy families in the city were killed, and mottled blood stains could be seen on the streets from time to time.

Han Sheng directly ordered all the thieves to enter the city, and the number of thieves in the city reached more than 140,000 at one time.

"Big brother, why do you want everyone to go into the city?" A thief asked inexplicably.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't." Han Sheng stretched out his hand and slapped the thief's head, grinning the thief, and hurriedly retreated to the side and didn't dare to speak.

However, the backbone of Han Sheng's subordinates all felt a trace of abnormality during this time, but they couldn't say what it was, the most important thing was Han Sheng's abnormal behavior.

And for some reason there were suddenly thirty more sharp guns in the army, as well as dozens of gunners who were accurate in fighting artillery, Han Sheng casually found an excuse and fooled the past.

It was nothing more than intercepted from the hands of the officers and soldiers, and a military advisor was invited, and those junior brothers were very happy when they heard it.

Liu Heng, who entered the thief army, became their military advisor, and at this moment he was instructing Han Sheng to retreat his men and horses into the city and empty the city gate.

Han Sheng was very cooperative, and he did not have a bad heart because of the sudden increase in strength, whenever he thought of the thousands of cavalry under Zhao Killing Xing who were not afraid of death, a slight chill would rise in his heart.

Zhao Killxing's troops are all two horses, the baggage battalion and even three horses are rotated, and the horses are all strong, and the marching speed is definitely not comparable to that of a thief.

Although there are more than 100,000 people in his hands, if Zhao Killing Star is serious, his rabble is estimated to be lost in less than two days, and then he will have to run away with a little bit of men and horses in a gray manner.

Zhao Killxing's soldiers are strong and strong, but when it comes to running, Han Sheng still has some confidence. After all, the world is so big, as long as you hide in a random place, you can ensure that Zhao Killing Star can't find it.

But if you run away, don't think about doing another career, if you do it again, sooner or later you will have to be destroyed by Zhao Killing.

So Han Sheng is very cooperative, besides, why do you want to run? What's wrong with being an officer or soldier, at least you can be above board. The rebellion was also a last resort, and later after becoming the leader, food and clothing were not a problem, and he began to yearn for a life of glory and wealth.

Some of the thieves want to be kings, want to be emperors, this is very unrealistic in Han Sheng's opinion, even if they can succeed in the end, then only one person can become emperors, anyway, it will definitely not be his turn.

Han Sheng's ideals are not high, and it is enough to mix a glorious and rich man.

The thieves were defeated in the Battle of Fengyang, and the thirteen thieves were annihilated, which made Han Sheng unable to see the hope that the thieves could win.

It is undoubtedly the best choice to become an official and a soldier.

On the twenty-first day, Han Sheng finally gathered all his men in Handan City, and did not arrange anyone to guard the city gate, but led people to drink and have fun in the yamen.

At noon, Zhao Yan's military horses were directly killed, and the four city gates of Handan were successfully controlled, forming a situation of closing the door and beating the dogs.

There was chaos in Handan City, and some thieves were so anxious that they shouted: "Zhao is here to kill the star." ”

stumbled all the way into the mansion to tell Han Sheng, Han Sheng was shocked and hurriedly gathered all the backbone of the thieves.

"Everyone also knows, Zhao Killing Star has come and surrounded us in the city, I'm afraid that the end of our time is approaching." Han Sheng looked around and said.

"Big brother, what can I do!" The backbone of those thieves was anxious, and they all talked nonsense, and none of them thought that they could escape Zhao Killxing's butcher's knife.

Just as everyone was hesitating, Han Sheng turned his head and said to Liu Heng: "The military advisor is rich in five cars, and he has a plan for the world, and there must be a way to save my life." ”

"Yes, you must have a way to deal with the military advisor." The backbone of the thieves said in a pleading tone, holding on to the last glimmer of hope.

"Since everyone trusts Wang so much, Wang will go to Zhao Killxing's military camp and lie down, and use this three-inch incorruptible tongue to protect everyone's lives." Liu Heng said loudly, this time he was like a thief, and in order to use his real name, he used a pseudonym surnamed Wang.

"Okay, the military advisor goes, I wish the military advisor success." Han Sheng clapped his hands and said, in the eyes of the thieves, Liu Heng walked out of the mansion with his chest straight......

Liu Heng arrived at the city gate, shouted, and went out of the city smoothly under the gaze of the thieves, and their military advisor entered Zhao Killxing's military camp.

The military camp was not a situation for negotiation, Zhao Yan saw Liu Heng coming back, and asked him: "Zhongping, can Han Sheng still settle down?" ”

"Very peaceful, no news has been revealed." Liu Heng smiled.

"That's fine, if he leaks the news, he will cut off his head and kick it as a ball." Zhao Yan said coldly, and then said to Liu Heng: "Zhong Ping, you can rest in the barracks for half an hour before going back, and tell Han Sheng when you go back, let him rot this matter in his stomach forever." ”

……

Half an hour later, Liu Heng left the barracks and entered Handan again.

"Strategist, how's it going?"

"Strategist, have you ever negotiated?" In the eagerness of a group of thieves, Liu Heng announced: "General Zhao originally wanted to behead everyone, but he was not talented, and told General Zhao that we were originally good citizens, and we were thieves because the world was not quiet. General Zhao promised us that as long as we were willing to lay down our arms and surrender, he would open the net and not kill anyone. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and a thief cowardly said, "What if Zhao Killing Xing and that Hong Xiangjiu kill the brother who was surrendered?" ”

Hong Xiangjiu is another name for Hong Chengchou.

When Han Sheng arrived at the moment of disarming, he didn't seem so free and easy, he took a sip of wine and asked Liu Heng: "Military advisor, General Zhao may keep his promise?" ”

"General Zhao has always been kind to others, and he is also a big man in Shandong, if he has no credit, can he have today's achievements?" After Liu Heng finished speaking, he said something that made the other thieves scratch their heads: "Wang can be a guarantor for the eldest brother." ”

"Yes, brothers, come with me and surrender." Han Sheng's heart fell, he poured a pot of wine into his stomach, and poured himself into his feet lightly, if Zhao Killing Star repented, he would be able to suffer less when he cut off his head, slammed the wine pot to the side, got up and shouted.

Han Sheng took more than 800 backbone thieves out of the city gate, and immediately saw Zhao Yan surrounded by the guards, Han Sheng took the lead and knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Sinners Han Sheng, knock on the chief soldier, and hope that the chief soldier will give the brothers a way to live." ”

"If you are willing to surrender, this official will not embarrass you." Zhao Yan got off the horse and said to the thieves in front of him: "Get up!" ”

"Mr. Xie." Han Sheng and the backbone of the thieves behind him let out a loud cry and stood up a little nervously.

"Into town." Zhao Yan ordered the soldiers behind. With an order, Zhao Yan's soldiers and horses immediately entered Handan City and began to collect the weapons in the hands of the thieves.

At the same time, Zhao Yan asked the supervisor Qian Zhiyi to report to the imperial court, and the Monkey was besieged in Handan, and at the price of the general Denglai, all 130,000 people in the Monkey Department were disarmed and surrendered, and the rest were coerced by the people, and the cattle and seeds were distributed on the spot to reclaim Handan......

Qian Zhiyi didn't feel anything wrong, this soldier solved the Heaven Turning Monkey Department bloodlessly, and it was indeed very beautiful in the eyes of others.

In the report, Qian Zhiyi also added the sentence 'Zhao Yan, the chief soldier of Denglai, is very strict, and Han Sheng, the sky-turning monkey, is a general of Denglai, which can be guaranteed not to be reversed'.

After writing the recital, Zhao Yan asked people to send it to Beijing quickly.

……

On the twenty-third day, Lu Xiang ascended to Zhangde Mansion and couldn't help but be angry when he heard that Handan was defeated. Launched a rapid march to Handan, and galloped to the aid of Handan at a speed of 100 miles.

But just a day later, I heard a report that Zhao Yan, the chief soldier of Denglai, surrounded the thieves in Handan, and Han Sheng, the sky-turning monkey, led 130,000 people to disarm and surrender......

When Lu Xiangsheng heard the report, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Quang Binh Mansion is a very small place, and to the south is the Daimyo Mansion, which is where Lu Xiangsheng passed through the prefect's mansion.

"Humph! Although this Zhao Yanzai killed thirteen thieves in Fengyang and wiped out all the Monkey Divisions, Fengyang and Handan were not saved, could he be a late general? Lu Xiangsheng frowned and said, "I'm going to go and see what this late general looks like." ”
