Chapter 441: The Death of Liang Shidu (1)
Shuofang Xicheng, Liang Shidu and Liang Luoren stood on the city wall, Liang Shidu had a panicked look on his face, Liang Luoren's face was calm and respectful, and Liang Shidu was surrounded by dozens of people to guard him. Everyone looked at Dongcheng, a big battle was taking place in Dongcheng, and Li Xin personally supervised the formation and was attacking Dongcheng.
After a long while, I heard Liang Shidu sigh: "Luo Ren, now that our Liang family is at the point of life and death, I can only trust my relatives, other people are unreliable, these guys are very respectful to me on weekdays, and now that Li Xin is here, they can't wait to take my head to see Li Xin immediately." If that's the case, Loren, I hope you'll take my head. ”
Liang Luoren was shocked when he heard this, thinking that his conspiracy had been exposed, and his face turned pale with fright, and he suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, how can my brother be a member of the Liang family, how can he do such a rebellious thing, anyone in the city can surrender to Li Xin, but my Liang family cannot." Li Xin is cunning, how can he believe that my Liang family, the imperial brother, if Li Xin is really allowed to enter the city, the subordinate brother will definitely become the first person to die in front of the imperial brother. Liang Luoren cried bitterly, he felt Liang Shidu's eyes staring at him, and his heart suddenly became frightened, and he knelt on the ground and didn't move.
Liang Shidu saw it in his eyes, sighed slightly in his heart, pulled Liang Luoren up, and said, "You and I are brothers, how can I not believe you." It was just a joke. What you said is right, Li Xin can spare anyone, but he definitely can't spare the Liang family. No one can bypass the family of another hero. ”
"Brother Huang, as long as we hold on for a while, the Turks will definitely come to the rescue, didn't Lu Shangshu go to the Turks for help?" Liang Luoren persuaded.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy, Li Xin's army has attacked several times, three times. In just one hour, three attacks were launched on Dongcheng, so crazy. It shows that Li Xin knows our plan, and he will have to capture Shuofang in a very short time before he can rely on Shuofang to resist the Turks. Liang Shidu shook his head and said.
"They are mostly cavalry, and if they want to attack Shuofang, it's not that easy!" Liang Luoren said deliberately.
"Don't underestimate Li Xin." Liang Shidu shook his head and said, "You also saw the situation yesterday, to be honest, I haven't slept well until now." ”
"The emperor hasn't eaten since yesterday!" The attendant beside him whispered.
"How can this be done? The emperor's dragon body is important. Liang Luoren glared at the chamberlain and said, "Shuofang City still needs the emperor to command the army to resist Li Xin, how can he not even eat?" ”
"Hehe, Brother Huang. Don't blame them, it's my reason. Liang Shidu smiled and said, "Let's go!" Let's go back! The prince had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses around him, and Li Xin wanted to attack Dongcheng, which was not so simple. ”
"The emperor will go back to rest first, and the courtiers will be here to hold on." Liang Luoren hurriedly said.
"That's very good." Liang Shidu also nodded, patted Liang Luoren's shoulder, and went down the city wall with the Huangluo umbrella cover. Back to the palace.
"Hehe, general, His Majesty the Emperor only came to woo you at this time, isn't it a little too late?" Zhang Duan looked at the back of Liang Shidu and said, "General." When the last general goes to see Li Xin, I can tell the general about it, and if he keeps his promise, it will not be too late for me to surrender. ”
"Go out again in the evening. Li Xin was sympathetic to the soldiers, and he was afraid that his attack would stop today. When you go to him at night, I don't seek glory or riches. But pray for peace for the rest of your life. Liang Luoren looked around, but saw that the soldiers in the distance had a look of fear on their faces. These soldiers usually plunder the people, but they have not undergone formal and hard training, and when they encounter a big war, they will suddenly fail. Although Liang Shidu has a lot of soldiers and horses, it is impossible to rely on such a person to resist Li Xin. What Liang Shidu needs now is to know Li Xin's thoughts.
"Yes, General." Zhang Duan hurriedly said.
It was as Liang Luoren guessed that Li Xin did not let his soldiers attack for too long, and after a few charges, he withdrew to rest, although his soldiers and horses were strong, but the number was relatively small, and it was not like this to want to charge. But although the number of charges was very small, Li Xin's soldiers and horses still rushed onto the city wall, Li Xuanba was even more brave, once captured the city wall for a few zhang square, and finally if Liang Shunming did not hesitate to order his archers to cover the city wall, Li Xuanba was forced to retreat, otherwise, it is possible that the eastern city will fall into the hands of Li Xuanba in one day.
"How's it going today? Do you think the soldiers under the command of Liang Shidu are our opponents? In the camp, after Li Xin pacified the wounded soldiers, he called a military meeting.
"Prime Minister, those people are also called soldiers? Lao Cheng alone can kill ten. Cheng Yanjin said loudly: "Let Lao Cheng attack the city tomorrow!" Lao Cheng will definitely help the city to take Shuofang. ”
"No, we have fewer people. If we force an attack, although we can capture Dongcheng, we will also suffer countless casualties. Li Xin shook his head and said, "Although the enemy can't do it, we can't fill it with our soldiers. ”
"Prime Minister, can't it go on like this?" Liu Min said loudly: "I think that Liang Jun is like that, if it weren't for Liang Shunming daring to attack his own people, it would be really unexpected!" Moreover, the last general thought that although Liang Shunming's move was powerful and blocked the pace of our attack, in the same way, the soldiers under his command were probably already cold-hearted, and even dared to shoot their own brothers, what else could not be done? ”
"Not bad." Li Xin nodded and said, "Although Liang Shunming has repelled many attacks this time, but he has killed so many brothers, can their people still work for the Liang family?" ”
"Prime Minister, there are people outside who claim to be Zhang Duan and ask to see the Prime Minister." At this time, outside the big tent, the soldiers said loudly.
"Look, we're turning around." Li Xin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked around and said: "The heavenly soldiers are here, and they will be captured, and the righteous people will definitely turn against each other." Go, ask General Zhang to come in. ”
"The sinner general Zhang Duan visited the prime minister." Zhang Duan entered the big tent under the leadership of his own soldiers, but his heart was uneasy, this is the lord of the most powerful warlords in the world, in the big tent, he felt a huge evil aura around him was enveloping him, making himself feel as if he was in the sea of corpses and blood, entering the big tent, kneeling in the big tent without thinking about it.
"General Zhang is here to return to the king?" Li Xin's face was calm, if Xu Shiji knelt in front of him, maybe Li Xin would be moved, a small Zhang Duan, so that he could not do the etiquette of Corporal Lixian, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and Zhang Duan is a person who knows the times at this time.
"Exactly." Zhang Duan hurriedly said: "Not only the last general, but also Liang Luoren, the cousin of Liang Shidu in the city, is also willing to submit to the prime minister, but?" Zhang Duan was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to open his mouth to Li Xin about it.
"But you want to let King Gu exempt Liang Luoren from his crimes? Keeping him from dying? Li Xin saw it in his eyes, his face was calm, and he said lightly: "The lonely king can promise him, the lonely king Jinkou Yuyan, as long as he can get the head of Liang Shidu, the lonely king will make him a marquis." ”
"The last general thanked the prime minister." Zhang Duan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
"The general comes to surrender, and the lonely cannot not be rewarded, first add the general as the uncle of Wuyi, and after the general has made meritorious contributions, the lonely king will not hesitate to reward." Li Xin thought for a while and said.
"How can the last general be virtuous, the prime minister who can reward him, and it will be difficult to repay the prime minister's kindness if the last general is broken to pieces." Zhang Duan said loudly: "Don't worry, the prime minister, after the last general goes back, he will definitely sacrifice the heads of Liang Shidu's father and son and the prime minister." ”
"Okay, okay." Li Xin was overjoyed, stepped forward to help Zhang Duan and said: "Although it is important to make meritorious contributions, we must also pay attention to safety, and King Gu is looking forward to drinking celebration wine with the general." ”
"Prime Minister Xie. The last will go back and arrange. Zhang Duan was very happy, hurriedly retreated, took advantage of the night to return to Shuofang, contacted Liang Luoren, and prepared to act the next day.
"Look, any strong city, it's not that it can't be breached, but it depends on whether you find a way, no matter how strong the city is, it's most likely to be broken from the inside." Li Xin pointed to Shuofang City in the dark night and said: "Liang Shi has all acted perversely, the soldiers in the city have long been dissatisfied, coupled with Liang Shunming's actions today, how can a person like Zhang Duan still work for the Liang family?" ”
"The last general will prepare the brethren so that tomorrow we will be able to capture Shuofang. After a winter, I believe the brothers want to go back. Li Xuanba said in a low voice. There is a sense of gloom in the words.
Early the next morning, the battle broke out again, but Liang Luoren led Zhang Duan and others to the palace, he glanced at the surrounding royal forest army, and finally said to the inner servant: "The emperor is up?" ”
"The emperor didn't sleep all night last night, and now he is still in the imperial study!" The chamberlain glanced at Liang Luoren and quickly replied.
"The emperor hasn't eaten in the morning?" Liang Luoren said dissatisfiedly: "Go, get a bowl of rice porridge." Dine for the emperor, don't you slaves know how to serve the Son of Heaven well? ”
"Alright, Luo Ren, come in!" In the main hall, there was the tired voice of Master Liang.
"Don't go yet." Liang Luoren glared at the waiter, and the frightened waiter quickly turned around and left, trotting out all the way.
"Brother Huang." Liang Luoren entered the main hall by himself, and sure enough, he saw Liang Shidu leaning on the couch with a tired face, and there was a map next to him, which indicated the geography of the mountains and rivers around Shuofang.
"Your Majesty, please eat." At this time, the waiter ran over quickly, only to see 10,000 meters of porridge on the tray, and some small pickles, although the amount was very small, but it could be seen that they were all carefully prepared.
"This, Brother Huang, can you give me some too." Liang Luoren glanced at Liang Shidu and said cautiously.
"No need, the cooks behind are all old people, they won't harm me, you don't have to worry." Liang Shidu glanced at Liang Luoren seriously, as if he knew what he was thinking, and waved his hand with a smile and said. Gu Gu ate the bowl of rice porridge. (To be continued......)
