Xu Liang looked very polite, greeted the Shangtianlong who sent the letter, called the generals of the Liang army outside the tent of the Chinese army in, and ordered someone to warm a few pots of wine to come in, greeted the heavenly dragon, introduced the generals of the Liang army to the heavenly dragon, and especially solemnly introduced Hong Chengchou of Shaanxi to participate in politics.

The Heavenly Dragon was very moved. After being moved, the table was to show the situation of the troops and generals in the Hutou Pass without reservation.

Hearing this, Xu Liang Lian praised the dragon for being sincere enough. When the atmosphere was still good, Xu Liang suddenly asked strangely: "Heavenly Dragon, your people's army has captured Hanzhong Mansion, and it has grown to more than 100,000 people in just one month. At present, Huang Ziren and Gao Yingxiang are still leading a large army to capture Xi'an Mansion. Although our army caught your people's army by surprise at the foot of Wudu Mountain, it took a small advantage. The large shape of the general shì is still beneficial to the people's army. So I don't understand, it's a great thing, why do you and Li Xinbei abandon the basics and turn their backs on Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi, to help us? ”

When the generals of the Liang army heard this, they all stared at the Heavenly Dragon, and it was obvious that everyone present was skeptical of the Heavenly Dragon's motives.

Shangtianlong sat up straight, looked at Xu Liang, his face showed a look of grief and indignation, and said, "The grass people know that Lord Xu and the generals will have this suspicion. However, you don't know that the people's army is quite powerful at the moment, and there are many generals, but this has nothing to do with the grass people. Zhu Zijian, Gao Zilin, Gao Yingxiang, and King Daliang firmly controlled the military and financial power of the people's army. In Zhu Zijian's eyes, all of us were raised by our stepmothers. The army could not intervene, and they did some errands of counting grain and grass and escorting supplies all day long. I feel aggrieved when I think about it! ”

Xu Liang listened. Nodding secretly, it seems that this people's army is not monolithic. Xu Liang pretended to be surprised and asked, "Heavenly Dragon." Not really, right? I think that Huang Ziren is quite good in the people's army, it is said that he commands 60,000 or 70,000 troops? ”

Heavenly Dragon snorted and sneered: "Huang Ziren can take charge of the people's army, that's because he is the confidant of Zhu Zijian, the king of Shunyi. If it weren't for this, how could he Huang Ziren have today's scenery? My lord, look at us old guys who retreated from Pingliang Mansion to Hanzhong, and the grass people are counted as one. Wang Zuogui, Guo Tianxing, and the fourth lady are them. Which one is still the same? Especially the fourth young lady, you adults probably don't know that she has been forced to marry King Daliang. ”

The Heavenly Dragon said indignantly and took another sip. scolded: "Just like Wang Daliang's bear-like cropper who is short and slender." Marrying the fourth lady Li Ting, he is also worthy?! ”

Seeing this, Xu Liang joined in and scolded King Daliang. Everyone ate and drank for a while, and Xu Liang saw that the night was thick, so he ordered the wine banquet to be withdrawn, and ordered Luo Rucai, the vanguard of the Liang army, to take the heavenly dragon down to rest.

And all the people dispersed.

After Hong participated in politics and waited for all the generals to leave, he looked at Xu Liang and asked in a deep voice: "Guozhong." Listening to Tianlong's tone, Guozhong, it seems that you have already had a relationship with Fourth Miss Li Ting? ”

Xu Liang was secretly shocked. Qiang smiled: "Don't hide it from your lordship, when the fourth lady Li Ting took the Li family army to make trouble in Pingliang in the past, the lower officials led troops to encircle and suppress it many times, and they couldn't talk about it, so they were familiar with each other." ”

"What kind of deal is the deal that the Heavenly Dragon is talking about?" Hong Senzheng looked at Xu Liang and asked.

Xu Liang felt a sigh in his heart, although Hong Shenzheng took good care of himself, but he was a person who wholeheartedly supported the court, if he knew about the behind-the-scenes transaction between Xu Liang and the fourth lady Li Ting, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would leave a bad impression on Hong Shenzheng. Xu Liang thought about it, so he smiled at Hong Shenzheng, walked up to him, and said, "My lord, have you ever remembered that the official army was besieged by the people's army at Hutou Pass, and the lower officials rushed out of the siege and returned to Pingliang to move the rescue troops?" In fact, when she was in Wudu Mountain, the fourth lady Li Ting quietly helped Xiaguan, so that Xiaguan could return to Pingliang smoothly. At that time, the fourth lady, Li Ting, had the only requirement for the government that the government would not investigate their faults. ”

Hong Shenzheng listened to it and smiled faintly, "The official will also ask at will." With that, he left.

The next day, the Liang army had breakfast and set up a formation, preparing to continue the siege. Shang Tianlong disguised himself as a Liang soldier and stood beside Xu Liang.

Xu Liang turned his head to the heavenly dragon and asked, "What is the code of the joint?" ”

Shangtianlong said: "My lord, Li Dugong said that if the lord agrees to cooperate, then when the Liang army attacks, the army formation will be one in front and two behind, lined up in a mountain shape. Li Dugong's people met him on the tower of Hutou Guancheng, and they knew what the adults meant. ”

Xu Liang nodded slowly, called Luo Rucai, the vanguard of the Liang army, and Dai Feng, the deputy chief soldier of Pingliang, to him, and ordered him to go down according to the meaning of the heavenly dragon.

The Liang army's three-way drums sounded, and 10,000 Liang infantry lined up in three phalanxes, one in front and two behind, advancing towards the Hutou Pass.

The king of Liang stood on the tower of the city, watched the infantry of the Liang army approaching in a mountain shape, and ordered the people's army in the city to prepare to meet the enemy. Looking at the formation of the Liang army again, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and smiled left and right: "This official army is good at posing, and you have to pose to attack a city!" ”

The generals on the left and right laughed. King Daliang twisted and looked at the soldiers of the people's army standing on the city tower, and couldn't help but increase his confidence. After the two armies boycotted the battle yesterday, Li Dugong and Guo Tianxing of the Li family army actually found themselves and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead troops to the city to help defend the city.

Since Li Xinbei and Guo Tianxing were marginalized, it is the first time that they have been so active. This made King Liang somewhat surprised. However, then the bride Li Ting's words immediately dispelled King Liang's concerns.

"General, there is a way to marry a chicken with a chicken, marry a dog with a dog, and now I am already a general. Now that the Liang army has attacked the Tiger Head Pass, you husband and wife should unite as one and resist the enemy together. I have persuaded my grandfather, and he has promised to send all his men to help the general defend the city. In addition, he also promised to persuade the Heavenly Dragon, the Heavenly Star and the others......"

This made King Daliang can't help but sigh secretly: This woman is dead-eyed, before marrying King Daliang, how did she see how King Daliang was unpleasant, but now that she has passed the door, she has begun to think about her husband's family wholeheartedly!

King Daliang looked back at the city gate, and the thousands of civilian troops led by Li Xinbei and Guo Tianxing were gathered at the city gate, ready to rush up to the city tower at any time to replenish their combat strength.

King Liang was still selfish in the end, and he didn't promise to let Li Xinbei and Guo Tianxing directly lead people to the front line. Rather, it served as a reserve force.

The siege battle began. With a sword in hand, the king of Liang nervously wandered around the city tower, directing and mobilizing manpower to replenish the blank area of combat power. Make sure that the Liang army does not have the opportunity to attack the tower.

Today's Liang army's attack is extremely fierce, the king of Liang knows that Xu Liang is rushing for time, if he can't capture Hutou Pass in the shortest possible time and besiege Hanzhong Mansion, then, as long as Gao Yingxiang or Du Huang Ziren, who is fighting in Xi'an Mansion, leads the army to come back, Xu Liang's Liang army will fall into the encirclement of the people's army. Annihilated.

The rate of attrition of the soldiers exceeded the expectations of the king of the Great Liang. The king of Daliang no longer had many troops in his hands, so he set his eyes on the reserve team under the city and called a soldier. Let him go down and order the reserve troops of the city to go up to the tower to defend the city.

King Daliang stood on the high city tower, watched the soldier who gave the order run to Li Xinbei, and said something. I saw Li Xinbei pull out the matching sword at his waist, shouting for life, and the Li family army behind him was ready to climb the city tower.

The king of the Great Liang saw it. Knowing that the order has arrived. He set his sights on the battlefield outside the city.

However, what the king of Daliang didn't know was that the soldier who gave the order looked up and saw that the king of Daliang was gone, and did not immediately return to the city tower, he passed through the soldiers of the Li family's army, walked straight to the general who was defending the city, and shouted sternly: "The general has an order, ordering you to go up to the city tower to support immediately." The task of guarding the city gate was handed over to Li Jiajun! ”

……

The battle was extremely fierce, and the towers of Hutou Pass were full of corpses of the people who died in the battle. The rain of arrows overwhelmed the civilian army in the city. The king of the girder squatted under a battlement. From time to time, with the help of the cover of the battlements, he looked at the situation of the Liang army under the city.

One of the generals of the people's army will run to the side of the king of Daliang. Squatted down and saluted solemnly: "General, I'm here!" ”

King Liang's eyes fell on the Liang army array under the city, and when he heard the words, he hummed softly, suddenly felt that something was wrong, turned back suddenly, and his eyes widened when he landed, and he almost roared: "Who asked you to come up?" Guard your gates! ”

The general was confused, and said blankly: "General, didn't you order your subordinates to bring troops to the city?" ”

"When did Lao Tzu give such an order?!" King Liang roared.

"Just ......"

Suddenly, the king of Liang heard an earth-shattering cheer outside the city, and he looked up nervously to see that the Liang army was rushing to the gate of Hutou Pass like a tide.

The gates of the city were opened from the inside!

King Liang's face became bloodless, and at this time, the general next to him ran over in panic and shouted, "General, the city gate is broken!" If you can't hold it, run away! ”

In just a few words, a large number of Liang troops rushed into the city gate and went up the stone steps of the city tower to cover the city tower.

The people's army on the city tower was panicked, and when they saw that the Liang army seemed to fall from the sky, they actually killed the city tower from the city, and suddenly the soldiers fell and fled in all directions.

On the city tower, several generals of the people's army dragged the king of Daliang, who screamed like a wounded beast, to retreat from the city tower, and fled to the city gate to the south.

More and more Liang troops rushed into the city, shouting like a wave: "My lord has an order, surrender and don't kill!" ”

"Surrender or kill!"

……

The clean-up operation in the city lasted for about half an hour, and after half an hour, the banners of the Liang army were planted on the north and south gates of Hutou Pass.

Xu Liang sat on the tiger skin chair in the lobby of the Great General's Mansion in the city, stroked the tiger skin with a very soft touch, and said to Hong to participate in politics: "Lord Hong, do you see how much people will enjoy it?" Look at the color of the fur and try the feel...... Grandma's, I want this chair! ”

Hong Shenzheng smiled and didn't care, he was so light that he had recovered the Tiger Head Pass, and he was very emotional.

Dai Feng, Luo Rucai, Wan Wenshan and other generals came to Xu Liang and Hong to participate in politics and reported the results of the battle to the two adults. At the end, Dai Feng arched his hand and said: "When the city was broken, King Daliang and his generals wanted to escape from the south city gate, but they were unexpectedly arrested by Li Ting, the fourth lady who had been guarding the south city gate for a long time. Right now they're out there. ”

When Xu Liang and Hong participated in politics, they were overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Quickly bring people in." ”

After a while, the fourth young lady Li Ting, Shangtianlong and Guotianxing strode in, respectfully saluting Xu Liang and Hong Shenzheng. Behind the three of them, two soldiers escorted the king of Liang with five flowers.

Xu Liang walked over and looked at King Da Liang, only to see that King Da Liang was glaring angrily at this time with a pair of resentful eyes, and no one looked at him, only staring at the fourth lady Li Ting and Guo Tianxing, and the three of Tianlong.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Xu Liang circled around the King of Daliang and exclaimed with emotion: "Who is this?" Isn't this the famous king of the people's army? Didn't you run away? How did you tie this? Oops, being caught by my wife who just passed through the door, doesn't it feel good? Righteousness destroys relatives, this is! ”

Bah! A mouthful of saliva, mixed with a little thick phlegm, drew a straight line in mid-air and shot across Xu Liang's face.

Xu Liang turned to one side and let go. Looking at King Liang again, his eyes were very unfriendly.

"Dare to spit on this official!" Xu Liang shouted viciously: "Come on, drag this short and fat dead fat man out and cut it down!" ”

The guards listened to the order, stepped forward and carried the king of the Great Liang and left.

King Liang scolded viciously: "Slut! I won't let you go! ”

Xu Liang jumped three feet high, "Who is this dead fat man scolding?!" ”

The expressions of the generals suddenly froze on their faces, and the face of the fourth young lady Li Ting was very unsightly.

As soon as Xu Liang turned around, he was relieved to see Li Ting, "Originally, he scolded you!"

Poof! Someone couldn't help but laugh.

The fourth young lady's face was pale, and her hands wrapped in long sleeves trembled slightly.

Xu Liang leisurely paced back to his seat, enjoying the tiger skin on the chair with one hand.

"Lord Xu!" The fourth lady said in a cold voice: "We opened the city gate and helped you capture the Tiger Head Pass, now it's time for you to fulfill your promise!" ”

Xu Liang looked at the fourth young lady, then at the Heavenly Dragon, nodded, and then looked at the sky yesterday, frowning and exclaiming: "There is nothing wrong with the two of you, it's just this benevolent brother...... Calling it the Celestial Star, right? It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with you, right? ”

When Guo Tianxing heard this, he was shocked and angry: "Lord Xu, what do you mean by this?" Words without faith, broken word and fat? ”

Fourth Miss Li Ting glared at Xu Liang and shouted, "Lord Xu, this time I was able to open the city gate so smoothly, and I made a great effort to pass through the stars!" Why, just after winning the battle, Lord Xu is going to change his hexagram? ”

Xu Liang grinned and smiled at the three of them: "What are the three of you talking about!" The three of them don't go outside to inquire, I, Xu Liang, have always been a spit and a nail, and I do what I say! This time, Hutou Pass was able to be captured so smoothly, and the three of them contributed a lot. The official was joking with the three of them just now. The three of them will accompany our army for the time being, and when our army returns to Pingliangli in triumph, they will naturally bring the three back to the territory of Pingliang Mansion. ”

The three of them suddenly exclaimed: "What? Still with Liang Jun? No way! We're leaving! ”

Xu Liang rolled his eyes: "The three are the leaders of the people's army, and they are more important than the Jiangyang thieves, so let you leave now, how can I rest assured?" What if as soon as you return to the territory of Pingliang Mansion, you will gather people to rebel and turn Pingliang City upside down? You can go now, as long as you can get out. ”

As soon as Xu Liang's voice fell, he saw the guards on both sides of the hall draw their swords out of their sheaths and surround them, and the guards looked at the three of them with a sneer, just like looking at three lambs to the slaughter.

"Xu Liang, you are too despicable!" Fourth Miss Li Ting shouted angrily. Facing the bright and flickering Pu Dao around them, the three of them had no choice, turned around obediently, and shouted at Xu Liang hatefully: "Follow the army, follow the army, I hope Lord Xu will not be that faithless and unrighteous villain!" ”

Xu Liang laughed, "The three of you can rest assured, the credibility of this official is well-known on the ground in the northwest." He waved his hand casually and said, "Come, send the three of you down to rest." ”

Then a guard stepped forward and led the three of them down.

suddenly

"Wait!" Shaanxi political participation Hong Chengchou shouted in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
