Xu Yuanlang smiled slightly and said: "You said that Zhi Shilang is willing to help me, but what kind of person Zhi Shilang is, how can I Xu not know, how dare I Xu believe him completely." If you are willing to stay here as a hostage, General Chiang, how can I believe you? ”
Jiang Shanhe's expression changed. Xu Yuanlang looked at him and said, "What's wrong with General Jiang?" ”
Jiang Shanhe raised his head and said, "Manager Xu, you are really a suspicious person, so suspicious." ”
Xu Yuanlang said with a smile: "It's not a big mistake to be careful, if you really misunderstand General Jiang, I will make amends to you in the future." ”
"Okay, stay and stay. I immediately wrote a letter by hand and handed it to my cronies and subordinates to reply to Chishiro. ”
"Haha, happy," Xu Yuanlang said to his subordinates at the moment, "bring paper and pen." ”
Jiang Shanhe waved his pen and wrote, and Xu Yuanlang asked his advisers to read it once and confirm that there were no flaws. Xu Yuanlang said to Jiang Shanhe: "This matter falls on Zhi Shilang, to be honest, even if this matter is not born, there is another way out." ”
Jiang Shanhe said: "Oh? What did Mr. Xu say? ”
Xu Yuanlang said with a smile: "Wang Yaohan, the governor of Bianzhou in Li Tang, and Cheng Jiahui, the governor of Liangzhou, will have an appointment with me as soon as possible, and when they see Li Chongjiu's soldiers coming to the city, they want to help me." But I betrayed Li Yuan in the past, and I was afraid that Li Yuan would refuse to contain him, so I didn't agree. At the moment, Li Chongjiu is unkind and unjust, so I can only dedicate Yanzhou to Li Tang. ”
Jiang Shanhe heard it in his heart, Wang Yaohan and Cheng Jiahui were both generals who were Wang Shichong and guarded Bianzhou and Liangzhou before, and as a result, they surrendered to Tang when Li Shimin attacked Luoyang. Among them, Wang Yaohan is also the brother of Wang Bodang, a famous general in Wagang. Wang Bodang and Li Mi were killed by Li Yuan, Wang Shichong thought that he had a blood feud with Li Tang, so he gave him Bianzhou to guard, but he did not expect that he still surrendered Li Tang.
Jiang Shanhe listened to it and said: "Manager Xu is really cunning, Zhishilang is really worried about it." ”
Xu Yuanlang waved his hand and said, "Where is it." Tomorrow, he will join forces with Zhishilang to break the enemy, if not, it will not be enough to defeat Xu Shiji. ”
The two of them made a plan that night.
In the early morning of the next day, a messenger came from the Zhao army and brought an edict. It was written that Xu Yuanlang was the king of Lu, and Yanzhou was given to him as a food town, and he guarded Yanzhou for Zhao Guozhen. Xu Yuanlang's son Xu Yichou was also added as the general of Zhendong, and the reward was very generous.
Xu Yuanlang read Li Chongjiu's edict, although he knew that what was written on this edict was fake, but he couldn't help but feel moved from the bottom of his heart. Xu Yuanlang said in his heart. It's really good to be crowned the king, but it touched Li Chongjiu's bottom line, if it's for the king of the county, it's not bad, but who am I, Xu Yuanlang, can I be with Wang Bo, Meng Haigong and others.
But even if Li Chongjiu really crowned Xu Yuanlang as the king. Although the edict did not explicitly state, there was a tacit understanding between the two sides that the Zhao army was not allowed to enter Yanzhou without permission. Xu Yuanlang is actually not afraid that Li Chongjiu will suddenly turn his face, but he just has to be careful that the other party assassinates himself on the canonization of King Lu.
In fact, even if Jiang Shanhe didn't tell Xu Yuanlang, Li Chongjiu wanted to kill himself at the canonization ceremony, and with his prudence, he would definitely not go to the meeting alone. And now I know Li Chongjiu's intentions. Xu Yuanlang was even more vigilant.
After the envoy of Zhao State read the edict to Xu Yuanlang, he smiled and said to Xu Yuanlang, who was kneeling on the ground: "King Lu, please go out of the city now and participate in the canonization ceremony of King Lu." ”
Xu Yuanlang took the edict and said with a smile: "Canonization ceremony? Why not in the city? ”
The messenger said: "King Lu, you don't know, according to the profit system, but all the Son of Heaven ascends the throne must go to the south of the capital to receive gifts, not to mention that King Lu gets the throne, it is a matter of celebration from top to bottom of Yanzhou, and it is necessary to be sealed in the south." One is to worship heaven and earth, and the other is to comfort the people. General Xu has already built an altar half a mile south of the city for the sake of King Lu's accession to the throne, and now he is only waiting for you, King Lu. ”
Xu Yuanlang said: "A certain person is a rough person, and there are not so many rules." The ceremony was waived. ”
The envoy changed color and said: "King Lu, you make it difficult for the ministers to explain like this, as soon as this example is opened, what face does Da Zhao have to see the world, and it is absolutely impossible." ”
"Really?"
"Absolutely not, unless King Lu doesn't want this title."
Xu Yuanlang and the envoy of Zhao State looked at each other without giving a step. After half a ring, Xu Yuanlang laughed and patted the shoulder of the envoy of Zhao State.
Xu Yuanlang saw a look of panic in the eyes of the envoy of Zhao State, and he knew it in his heart. At that moment, Xu Yuanlang said: "Okay, since King Zhao is so gracious, I, Xu Yuanlang, am disrespectful." ”
The envoy of Zhao State listened to it at the moment, and his eyes were filled with joy, and he said: "It's good that King Lu agrees." ”
"Slow!" Xu Yuanlang said, "But there is a certain condition, when you go out of the city, you must bring an escort." ”
The envoy of Zhao hesitated slightly. Xu Yuanlang further asked rhetorically: "Why don't you want to?" ”
The envoy of Zhao State immediately said: "Of course, King Lu is a body of ten thousand gold, and it is okay to bring guards, but General Xu will also protect King Lu thoroughly, please rest assured." ”
"That's good." Xu Yuanlang nodded, the reluctant look of the envoy of Zhao State, he saw it in his eyes, of course, this was also his weak heart, and he was afraid of being suspicious of himself, so he agreed to Xu Yuanlang's condition instead. Xu Yuanlang's heart was a little more accurate.
Of course, if it weren't for Jiang Shanhe reminding Xu Yuanlang of himself, he would never have taken a step out of the city and participated in the canonization ceremony of nagging on the altar. He would rather not have this King Lu than put himself in danger, but now it is different.
At this moment, Xu Yuanlang walked up to the gate in the south of the city and looked at the past, Zhao Jun really built an altar in the south of the city. The altar is covered with yellow curtains on both sides and sides. There are about 3,000 Zhao troops in the south of the city, which is not a lot of people, but it is not a small number either.
"Ming Gong, it takes half a mile from here to the altar. Even if the Zhao army ambushes and kills you halfway, with your elite soldiers, it is enough to risk death to escort you into the city. ”
Jiang Shanhe kept beside Xu Yuanlang and said: "Manager Xu, Zhishilang's men and horses are on the north side of the altar, and he said that as soon as you arrive at the altar, you will start immediately." ”
Xu Yuanlang smiled loudly and said: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, go!" ”
Speaking of which, Jiang Shanhe was guarded on the city tower, and Xu Yuanlang straddled a war horse and went out of the city with his five hundred elite guards. These 500 guards are all Xu Yuanlang's disciples, and they have been fighting in Hebei and Shandong for more than ten years, and everyone has incomparable loyalty to Xu Yuanlang.
Xu Yuanlang was convinced that if the Zhao army suddenly turned against him on the road, these soldiers would also protect him and retreat into the city gate. This is only half a mile, even if Xu Shiji transfers 10,000 horses, it will be difficult to keep himself, let alone only 3,000 people.
The city gate in the south of the city slowly opened, a gust of wind blew, and Xu Yuanlang's eyes accidentally entered a sand. Xu Yuanlang didn't care about this, all the Zhao troops outside the city dispersed, making way for a road to the altar.
Although there are many Zhao soldiers outside the city, there is no cavalry, which is the biggest flaw, and the Zhao army that Xu Yuanlang is most worried about has no ballistas, eight cannons and other equipment, and the three thousand people are just a group of infantry at best.
Even if Wang Bo deceived himself, Xu Yuanlang was not afraid. Thinking of this, Xu Yuanlang smiled and looked at his left hand side, where Wang Bo's banner was fluttering. He believed very much that Wang Bo was the same as him, and he would not surrender to Li Chongjiu lightly.
As soon as Xu Yuanlang's heel touched the war horse, the horse's hooves ticked, and the war horse carried Xu Yuanlang straight forward.
This is a few steps out of the city, and at this time, the Zhao army on the left and right sides erected shields together. Xu Yuanlang was slightly startled, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was making a military salute. Xu Yuanlang walked all the way, and the left and right soldiers of Xu guarded him tightly, moving forward step by step.
The half-mile journey is not fast, it is not slow, and when Xu Yuanlang stayed under the altar, he was already sweating.
"Why doesn't Wang Bo do it yet?" Xu Yuanlang was shocked.
At this time, a general of Zhao came to Xu Yuanlang on horseback, pointed to the altar and said, "Please also invite King Lu to the altar!" ”
"Good!" Xu Yuanlang was about to dismount, but suddenly shouted: "Kill him!" ”
The subordinates beside Xu Yuanlang buckled the dark crossbow in his hand. The general of the Zhao State did not guard against this arrow that was close at a moment's notice, and was immediately hit by an arrow in his throat.
The general of the Zhao State pointed his hand at Xu Yuanlang in shock and anger, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
This shocking change was only in a moment, and no one expected that Xu Yuanlang would be the first to make a move, which was really decisive.
And Xu Yuanlang pulled out his sword from his horse and said: "Zhishilang, Meng Gong is not going to do it with me, let alone when!" ”
Xu Yuanlang said this, but he pulled the reins and strangled the horse's head back to the city gate. Xu Yuanlang's five hundred elite guards all raised their shields and guarded him at his side.
At this moment, but when I heard the sound of a bang, the curtain under the altar was all pulled down at once. At the head of the city, the soldiers in front of the altar were stunned when they saw this scene.
But two floors below the altar are placed with ten barberry crossbows on top and bottom, and two floors are twenty barberry crossbows. The barberry crossbow was improved by Zhao Jun on the eight-ox crossbow, which was a twelve-stone giant crossbow with one crossbow and three arrows, while the barberry crossbow was a crossbow with five arrows.
With a solid wood as a rod, an iron sheet as a feather, an arrow like a javelin, and a heavy armor and iron shield within 200 steps like a poke paper. Now there are twenty barberry crossbows, and a hundred iron feather arrows are aimed at Xu Yuanlang below.
Only then did Xu Yuanlang know why he couldn't see the truth about any Zhao Jun's bed crossbow outside the south of the city, it turned out that Xu Shiji had already hidden the bed crossbow on the altar and covered it with a curtain.
"Run!" Xu Yuanlang shouted, he also ignored his subordinates, struggled with his horsewhip, and rushed straight towards the city gate. The war horse under Xu Yuanlang's crotch is worthy of being a famous horse, running extremely fast, dozens of steps in one breath, and half a mile is only a few hundred steps.
Xu Shiji glanced at Xu Yuanlang and shook his head.
The Zhao crossbowman received the order to shoot and immediately struck with a sledgehammer.
Arrows in unison!
Under the barberry crossbow, people are like paper, killing people is like cutting grass, and the most prosperous five or six people are nailed together. Xu Yuanlang's original five hundred elite soldiers who were alive withered in an instant.
Xu Yuanlang rode his horse and galloped wildly without looking back, the scene beside him was already a bloody tragic situation, and the soldiers on the left and right in front of him were all under the strong crossbow, and they fell down one after another.
Xu Yuanlang has not been hit so far, obviously with some luck, of course, it is also because of his speed.
But Xu Yuanlang's good luck ran out, and an arrow caught up with him and killed him with an arrow from his crotch.
Xu Yuanlang exclaimed, and the whole person flew up on his back.
