An hour later

Although Jiao Jing told himself over and over again to be patient, he was still thundered by the popularity of this gang, and he attacked the city three times without casualties, and each time he rushed to the city wall, he immediately ran back unharmed.

Wang Jinlong said worriedly: "General, it's not okay to fight like this, I think Zhou Peichun is determined to fight against us, and the siege is just for show, we have to plan early." ”

"What do you suggest?" Jiao Jing put saliva into her mouth and threw the water bladder on the ground.

Wang Jinlong said: "It's better to talk to them straight to the point, just say that there are Qing court officials in the city, and Jiao Du ordered us to attack Poyang to kill the court officials." ”

Qing court officials! Jiao Jing smiled proudly: "Mr. is really smart, this Qing court official is Jiang Zhongyuan, he has a grudge against the King of Han, Zhou Peichun and their meritorious deeds will definitely attack hard." ”

Although Wang Jinlong felt that he was suspected of insulting Governor Jiang, there was no better way: "I'll go and invite Zhou Peichun and Ge Yaoming to come over." ”

Listening to Jiao Jing's words, Ge Yaoming was surprised: "What! Jiang Zhongyuan, the governor of the Qing army, is in the city? Your Excellency didn't lie to us, did you? ”

Wang Jinlong added: "The two of you don't know, this is a military secret, and Governor Jiao has repeatedly told us not to leak it, so General Jiao and I hide it from you, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

Zhou Peichun said excitedly: "My lords are too worried, we can only be happy, then we will blame, two adults rest assured, I immediately ordered my brothers to attack the city wall, and we must sacrifice Jiang Zhongyuan's live capture to His Royal Highness the King of Han." ”

Jiao Jing said generously: "Don't worry, it's getting late now, in case Jiang Zhongyuan takes advantage of the chaos to run away." Or tomorrow tomorrow will attack the city again. ”

"Yes, the last general will send men to inspect the four walls. Jiang Zhongyuan will never be allowed to run away. Ge Yaoming and Zhou Peichun received the order with excitement on their faces.

In the middle of the moon, Hu Mengjun didn't expect to find Jiao Liang's army so easily. I was surprised that Zhao Laoqi's magical powers were vast, but I didn't expect that he just pointed out a few words to himself, and so many people did their best to help him.

"Stop! Who? This is an important place in the barracks, and it is not to be approached! The patrol soldiers found Hu Mengjun raising his hands and slowly approaching, and immediately shouted loudly.

Hu Mengjun immediately stood up and shouted: "I am the envoy of the King of Han, and I have come to meet Jiao Dudu, and I have an important military report. ”

The patrol guard heard that it was the envoy of the King of Han. Immediately brought Hu Mengjun, who had been searched, into the barracks, and reported to Jiao Liang that he knew.

"You are the envoy of the King of Han? What credentials do you have? Jiao Liang looked at Hu Mengjun, who was arrogant, and already believed him in his heart, but when it came to King Han, he didn't dare to be careless.

Hu Mengjun took out the jade pendant that Li Yunzhong gave him and presented it to Jiao Liang with both hands, staring at Jiao Liang's eyes, unwilling to let go of a trace of clues.

Jiao Liang put down the jade pendant and asked, "What does King Han command?" Isn't His Highness attacking Zhejiang? How did you get to Jiangxi? Where is His Highness now? ”

He was so surprised that King Han appeared in Jiangxi silently.

Hu Mengjun said solemnly: "King Han ordered me to ask you three questions!" ”

"Speak. Jiao Liang must answer sincerely. Jiao Liang knew that the answer would soon be known.

"Jiao Liang! You want to turn back! ”

Jiao Liang took a few steps back in shock, his face was terrified, as if the King of Han was questioning him in front of him, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness Mingjian." Minister...... Don't dare! ”

Even if there are a thousand words, Jiao Liang can't say them, so he can only cry in a low voice. I don't understand how His Highness could doubt him so much.

Hu Mengjun saw Jiao Liang's reaction and breathed a sigh of relief. continued: "Jiao Liang, this king knows that you will not oppose me. Do you know that Jiao Jing is about to kill me? ”

It turned out to be Jiao Jing, a brute! Jiao Liang replied: "The minister ordered Jiao Jing to be stationed in Jingdezhen, and he did not give him the rest of the orders, please let His Highness know about it." ”

Hu Mengjun stepped forward to help Jiao Liang and said, "Your Highness's third question is Jiao Jing, what will you do?" ”

Jiao Liang said fiercely: "This beast has done such a rebellious thing, what are you leaving him to do!" The minister went to capture him, where is the king of Han? The minister immediately led his troops forward. ”

Hu Mengjun hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness is now besieged in Poyang City, Jiao Jing has abandoned Jingdezhen and is attacking Poyang with all his might, it seems that he has the intention of not killing the King of Han and vowing not to give up." ”

Jiao Liang couldn't understand what his arrogant brother was thinking? What did he get by defecting to the Qing court? Their Jiao family is the in-law of the King of Han, and Wang Niang Xu is the sister of his wife, the Jiao family and the King of Han are both prosperous and lossy, what is he doing this for!

"Don't worry, this little brother, I will lead the troops to Poyang County."

Hu Mengjun hesitated, but still said what King Han had explained: "Your Highness said that if Nanchang City has a chance, you don't have to go to Poyang, Your Highness has ordered Commander Zeng to rescue you and let you concentrate on attacking Nanchang." ”

Zeng Shuiyuan is also going! Jiao Liang hurriedly said: "There are still a lot of Qing soldiers in Nanchang City, with Jiang Zhongyuan's elite soldiers and horses, it is really difficult for our army to conquer alone, it is better for me to lead troops to Poyang to join Commander Zeng, and when the two armies work together to attack Nanchang, Jiang Zhongyuan will definitely be captured." ”

Compared with the capture of Nanchang City, the trust of the Han King is still more important, but it is a pity that Zeng Shuiyuan was finally sent to Jianchang Mansion, and now it seems that the credit for attacking Nanchang cannot be enjoyed exclusively.

Hu Mengjun said happily: "Okay, let's leave early tomorrow morning!" ”

Jiao Liang didn't have the heart to wait for another night, and said: "King Han is in danger, how dare you rest as a courtier." Then he shouted to the herald outside the tent: "Send the order to go down, and immediately leave the camp and go to Poyang County!" ”

dawn

Looking at the rows of soldiers with high morale, Jiao Jing smiled at Wang Jinwei and said: "Thanks to Mr. for reminding me this time, this gang of bandits can attack Poyang with their lives, Mr. rest assured, killing Li Yunzhong is indispensable to your benefits!" ”

Wang Jinlong burst into tears, he could finally return to the Qing Dynasty and kill Li Yunzhong, which was a great achievement, and the position of governor and governor may not be impossible.

Thinking of this, Wang Jinlong was also very proud: "I hope the general can succeed immediately!" ”

Jiao Jing nodded with satisfaction and shouted, "Siege!" ”

"Kill"

"Kill"

Looking at the siege of the city seemed unusual, Zhong Lin on the city wall kept cheering up the defenders: "Don't panic, everyone listen to the captain's command, the general said that killing one enemy will be rewarded with three taels of silver, and killing three enemies will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" ”

"Stones ready, put!"

"Archer, put!"

"Stones, throw!"

"Roll the oil, pour! Ignition! ”

……

Looking at the retreating rebels, Zhong Lin wiped his cold sweat, it was the first time he commanded so many people to fight.

Wang Lung stepped forward and gave Zhong Lin a thumbs up, and whispered, "The command is good, Your Highness was watching from behind just now!" Don't look at it, His Highness has already gone back. ”

Zhou Peichun was a little weak when he saw Jiao Jing for the first time, and promised loudly: "General rest assured, the last general and others will personally lead the troops to attack the city, and if they can't break Poyang, the last general will come to see him." ”

Jiao Jing heard him make a military order, swallowed back the mocking words, and said with a smile: "You have to count when you speak, this time I didn't force you, if you can't capture Poyang before noon today, you won't come to see me!" ”

Watching Jiao Jing and the two leave, Ge Yaoming said angrily: "Peichun, what are you crazy about? This Poyang is not easy to fight! Why did you make a military order in front of him! What do you do if you can't break through Poyang? ”

Zhou Pei rolled up his sleeves and replied: "I just don't believe that more than 10,000 people can't fight a county, our righteous army has been defeated repeatedly, just because there is no spirit of death, this time for the future of the brothers, how can I fight, and this is also the most difficult opportunity to do it, Brother Ge, you don't have to persuade me, I will personally lead the troops to attack the city, if I die, you will disband the brothers, go back to Guangdong and be a common man, the king of Han is merciful, and he will definitely not treat us like the Qing court." ”

Ge Yaoming pulled Zhou Peichun with tears in his eyes: "I will go with you, I want to die together, at the beginning, our brothers swore to live and die together, and several brothers were killed by Qinggou, if you have another three long and two short, what face do I have to go to see the villagers and elders, or let us fulfill the oath, and the brothers are not lonely in the underworld." ”

"Good! I, Zhou Peichun, didn't mess with your brother, our brothers live and die together this time. Zhou Peichun held Ge Yaoming's hands, also with tears in his eyes, as if he was saying goodbye again.

Walking on the empty street, Tang Liang asked the King of Han in front of him on the left: "Yesterday the rebels attacked the city perfunctory, why are you so desperate today, just now the general roughly calculated that the rebels will suffer at least more than 500 casualties." ”

Li Yunzhong kicked the stones on the ground, and said without thinking: "People die for money, birds die for food, of course Jiao Jing is luring them, you go back and let Zhong Lin erect a white flag, which reads: Li Yunzhong, the king of Han, is here, so that it can also hit the rebels' military heart." ”

Tang Liang said with a smile: "Your Highness's move is similar to the previous Yongle Emperor's Jingnan and Shandong's Jinan, when the Yongle Emperor looked at the empty Jinan City of the defenders, he didn't dare to order a strong attack, and watched the reinforcements rush into Jinan. ”

Zhou Peichun, who was gearing up to attack the city to the death, suddenly saw several white flags erected on the city wall, and said to Ge Yaoming next to him:

"Do the defenders of the city want to surrender?"

Ge Yaoming pointed to the white flag and shouted: "There are words on the flag, Han King Li Yunzhong is here!" This...... What does that mean? ”

Looking at the big characters on the flag, Zhou Peichun was puzzled, and looked at the city wall blankly.

Jiao Jing shouted anxiously, "Why don't you attack the city yet? ”

Ge Yaoming pointed to the white flag on the wall and asked, "Who is in the city?" You said that Jiang Zhongyuan was inside, why did the wall say that King Han was inside! ”

Jiao Jing's face was as dead as ashes, and he looked at the banner on the wall in despair.

Wang Jinwei said lightly: "This is the Qing army's plan to delay the army, Emperor Yongle fell for this plan back then, and almost lost his life, why don't you attack the city immediately and bring Jiang Zhongyuan's head." ”

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Jiao Jing shouted frantically: "Yes, this is a trick of the Qing army, why don't you quickly take Li Yunzhong's head and hand it over to me!" ”

"Li Yunzhong?" Zhou Peichun and Ge Yaoming looked at each other, their hearts pounding.

This idiot! Wang Jinwei said with a smile: "The general just made a slip of the tongue, don't spread the word, it's important to attack Poyang immediately!" (To be continued......)
