Looking back at the direction of Jingdezhen, Ge Yaoming whispered: "I'm just afraid that there will be a mistake in Jingdezhen, and then General Jiao will treat us as scapegoats and lose his life in vain." ”

When it came to his life, Zhou Peichun was also cautious: "Then let's send someone to inform Jiao Dudu?" The prefect Wang Jinwei is sanctimonious, and he has a bad stomach, I'm afraid it was his ghost idea to trick General Jiao into attacking Poyang County, I really don't understand what is the benefit of hitting Poyang County? There is no merit in defeating, and the two crimes cannot be punished together. ”

"These are not things we can decide, if we can't do anything, we can't lead the army to go out and go alone, and then go back to Guangdong." Ge Yaoming was a little disappointed in the Han army and ignored their new recruits.

Since Hu Kuan heard that Poyang County was besieged by shorthair, he was anxious and kept looking at Li Yunzhong with his eyes.

Li Yunzhong felt that Hu Kuan's gaze was becoming more and more frequent, and persuaded: "Lord Zhixian don't have to worry, I have sent Mengjun to Nanchang to ask for help, as long as we hold on for three or four days, the army outside the city will naturally retreat." ”

The general finally spoke! Hu Kuan complained: "But there are no soldiers and horses in the city to defend, how can only the five hundred generals be enough!" The anti-thief is prepared, and the general should quickly think of a way! ”

Li Yunzhong explained: "I have sent people to recruit courage in the city, plus the capture of fast, green camp, and village bravery, a total of 2,000 people, it is more than enough to defend a small Poyang County, and I have already found out clearly, the army outside the city has no artillery, nor muskets, they are all rough men who have not been trained, I will kill as many people as I come, Lord Hu does not have to worry." ”

Listening to Li Yunzhong's vow, Hu Kuan was a little relieved and added: "I have prepared arsenic and crane top red. If the general wants to use it, he can come and get it at any time. If the thieves break the city, I will lead my family to take poison. set himself on fire, if the general survives, warn Jun'er and let him leave a ...... for the Hu family."

The more Li Yunzhong listened, the more wrong he became, and he interrupted: "I said Lord Zhixian, you can't believe me, or what, don't be so pessimistic, let your subordinates see it." I thought the thieves had entered the city!

With 800,000 taels of silver and 300,000 loads of grain and grass sent by this squire, it is enough for us to keep it for a year, so you can rest assured. ”

Hu Kuan shook his head: "General, let me tell you the truth, there are no reinforcements nearby, Nanchang itself is difficult to protect, the Hunan army went around Jiangxi, and returned to Jiujiang without fighting. ”

Listening to Hu Kuan's heartfelt words, Li Yunzhong laughed and asked, "Lord Hu didn't think about surrendering?" ”

Hu Kuan looked at Li Yunzhong in surprise, not knowing what his words meant. Test? I can't be fooled!

The general laughed, eating the king's lu, sharing the king's worries. This critical moment is the time for us to repay Jun's grace. How can you bring down a thief? The general will not test me, I have made a determination to live and die with Poyang. ”

Li Yunzhong saw a look of wavering in his eyes. It seems that this Hu Kuan is not the kind of person who eats the ancients.

Zhong Lin was draped all over his body, and came in to report, "General Qiyu." The soldiers in the city have been recruited, and the army we brought with us has a total of 3,200 people, and the rebels outside the city are also building siege equipment, and the last general will see that they have no experience in siege of the city. ”

Li Yunzhong smiled at Hu Kuan and said: "My lord, you can rest assured, hurry up and throw away the crane top red, arsenic or something, so as not to accidentally drink it, everything will be over, then I can't explain it to Mengjun." ”

"Let's go to the city wall and have a look." Li Yunzhong smiled at Zhong Lin, took the lead out of the county office, and headed towards the city wall.

Looking at the disorderly rebels under the city wall, this reminded Li Yunzhong of the scene of the attack on Guixian County, and I wonder if they would make the ladder shorter.

Captain Wang Longyu reported: "General, the three hundred foreign spear team members have been dismantled and assigned to the township warriors according to your orders, and each of them is in command of ten township warriors. ”

Li Yunzhong pointed to the crowd below and said, "You see that they only surrounded this city wall, you have arranged a hundred people to warn each of the other three city walls, put a thousand people in the city as a reserve, and there are still a thousand people left to take turns to defend this city wall." ”

Wang Lung understood it at one point, and admired: "Your Highness is wise, a thousand people in the city can support the four city walls at any time, even if the rebels attack the other three sides, the reinforcements in the city can arrive in time, so that our army seems to have three thousand more people." ”

Jiao Jing was used to seeing the appearance of the regular army attacking the city, and was a little unaccustomed to these slow movements now, pointing at Ge Yaoming and scolding: "Let your people hurry up, bandits are bandits, and they still want to rebel like you, I really don't know what you think, isn't it very pleasant to farm and have a baby at home!" ”

Looking at the camp looking at him with angry eyes, Jiao Jing immediately felt weak and walked away scolding.

Zhou Peichun pulled out his waist knife, looked at Jiao Jing's back, and said angrily: "I'll kill him, let's break through Poyang County and loot and go back to Guangdong." There's no one in this guy's eyes, and I really can't stand it. ”

Ge Yaoming took Zhou Peichun's arm and persuaded: "Forget Peichun, even if we flee back to Guangdong, it's useless, I heard that the Han army fought another big victory in Zhejiang, the Qing army was killed and lost their armor, and the whole army was wiped out, I think Fujian and Guangdong are also difficult to preserve, we killed important people in the Han army, and then they can let us go, and we have a deep blood feud with the Qing army, how many brothers have been forced to die, if we surrender to the Qing Dynasty, the brothers are not willing." ”

Zhou Peichun slammed the big knife into the ground and scolded: "I didn't expect to be famous as it is better to meet, I didn't expect the famous Han Kingdom, it's just like that, we have suffered humiliation here, it is better to find another way." ”

Ge Yaoming persuaded: "We are just an exception, this Jiao Dudu is still good to us, but this Jiao General is really not good, he is also a brother, a big hero like Jiao Dudu, how can there be such a brother." ”

Zhou Peichun said hatefully: "He doesn't let us have a good time, and I don't let him be happy, so I'll let the brothers behave when they attack the city, don't work hard." ”

Ge Yaoming was very supportive of this proposal: "Ha Lu Ha...... Brother Zhou said it well, and he also taught General Jiao, who had no one in his eyes, a lesson. ”

Looking at the city wall in front of him, which was only one and a half feet high, Jiao Jingzhi was complacent and shouted: "Siege!" ”

"Kill"

The siege troops, which had received the hint from the commander, rushed to the city walls with weak strength.

Looking at the rebels with low morale in the city, Zhong Lin sighed: "In the end, it is a rebel, and they still want to break through Poyang County, this is a fool's dream, general, you better go back to the city to rest, there is the last general to guard, please rest assured." ”

Out of sight and out of mind, is this the army of the Han Dynasty, not even as good as the militia, Li Yunzhong signaled to Tang Liang, and walked down the city wall without looking back, thinking that he must rectify the army when he goes back, and remove these greedy people who are afraid of death and are traitorous and slippery from the army.

As soon as he entered the yamen, Li Yunzhong was surrounded by the squires who had been waiting here for a long time.

"General, can this Poyang County be defended?"

"General, you must defend Poyang County, our net worth and life are all in your hands!"

……

"Alright...... Everyone, be quiet, speak slowly, and my ears itch when you hear it. Li Yunzhong covered his ears and shouted to these squires.

Li Guoguo waved his hand to make everyone quiet, and stepped forward to worship: "On behalf of the people of the whole city, the old man thanked the adults for their generous help, if there was no general and you sent troops to defend, this Poyang County would have already been broken by the anti-thieves!" ”

By the way, they still don't know that the thieves outside the city were provoked by him Li Yunzhong.

Li Yunzhong assured solemnly: "Rest assured, although Zeng Dashuai asked me to preserve my strength and not fight against the anti-thieves, and also told me to keep my distance from the anti-thieves and not to lose the army because of a moment of righteous indignation, but I am not that kind of person, since I have received your money, I will definitely defend Poyang County." ”

"This Zeng Guofan is really a bastard, he doesn't want to do anything just to collect money, and he must go to Beijing to sue the emperor, this kind of traitor staying in the world is really a disaster for the country and the people." Zhou Di hated Zeng Guofan to the core.

"Yes, go to the royal court, don't forget to call me when Brother Zhou arrives."

Li Yunzhong pretended to be helpless: "It's not right for you to do this, Lord Zeng also has his own hardships, the food and salary pulled down by the court are used to support his wife and concubines, if you don't extort money, how can you have the money to pay the soldiers military salaries." ”

Only then did the squires remember that the general was a subordinate general of Zeng Guofan, and although they became more and more angry, they did not dare to continue to slander Zeng Guofan, so they could only scold them over and over again in their hearts. Even the purpose of going to the county government has been forgotten for the time being.

Looking at the defeated and retreating siege army, Jiao Jing pushed Zhou Peichun fiercely and scolded: "Bastard, how did you attack the city, you only smashed a few stones on the city and you ran back, believe it or not, I beheaded you." ”

Zhou Peichun straightened his clothes and replied calmly: "General, you have also seen that the Qing soldiers in the city have been prepared for a long time, and it seems that there are only a few hundred people as the adults said, and it is understandable that the brothers will retreat in a panic for a while." ”

Wang Jinlong saw that many people were clenching their big knives, and it seemed that they could cut them at any time, so he hurriedly pulled Jiao Jing to play the round: "Everyone has worked hard, you all go down to rest, and then continue to attack the city after half an hour." ”

Jiao Jing shook Wang Jinlong's hand and said angrily: "Why are you stopping me, don't kill their arrogance, they won't take me in their eyes, you look at the way they attacked the city just now, it looks like a war, even if you let go of the city gate, I don't think they can kill it." ”

It's not that you pissed them off, how did I get this idiot! Wang Jinlong held back the killing intent in his heart, and persuaded him with good words: "The general should bear with it, they are just a group of grass bandits, how can they know what military discipline is, otherwise they will not be driven out of Guangdong by the official army, as long as Poyang County is attacked, there is no need to endure them anymore." ”

I won't have to put up with you then, Wang Jinlong is really not interested in this gentleman.

"Yes, you're right, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, and when Poyang County is captured, they will carry the crime of murdering the King of Han on their backs, and they will die wherever they flee." Jiao Jing decided to endure for the time being. (To be continued......)
