8-40 The conspiracy of the gourd babies
The remnants of King Ning's seven or eight thousand people bypassed the starry night of Nanchang and rushed to Poyang Lake, and the fleet of Zuo Menggeng, the sailor stationed in King Ning, also anchored here, and a group of people boarded the ship and went straight to Jiujiang.
Jiujiang is the second largest town under the jurisdiction of King Ning, second only to Nanchang, here is close to the Yangtze River, can choke an important throat waterway, the strategic position is very dangerous, so King Ning sent tens of thousands of horses, hundreds of warships, here the grain and grass is even more abundant, the two combined troops in one place, there is no possibility of turning the tables.
When the remnants of King Ning's army came to Jiujiang City, when he just wanted to enter the city, Zuo Mengeng had an extra heart, and asked King Ning to send a soldier similar to King Ning, wearing a python robe to enter the city, to explore the reality, King Ning thought it was true, and acted according to the plan, sure enough, after the prince drove into Jiujiang City, the city gate suddenly closed, only to hear the sound of killing inside, and after a while, the city threw out the head of the fake King Ning, and the general of King Ning stationed in Jiujiang appeared in the city head accompanied by a court official, and righteously accused King Ning of betraying the court, King Ning was furious and ordered to attack the city, but a series of fiascos have seriously hit morale, how can there be the spirit to attack Jiujiang City, a few Taibao held down the thunderous King Ning with the army tideReturn to Poyang Lake.
Poyang Lake is vast, it is a good place to fight guerrillas, but Ning Wang Zhi is in the world, how can he deign to be a water coward, he is so angry that he jumped to his feet and scolded those traitors, King Ning is indeed not thin on his subordinates, but the people he values are mostly rats who are sloppy and patting horses, usually bragging, and when they meet a real battle, their legs are weak, and the imperial army will shoot the letter of surrender to the city tower, and the white flag will be raised in half an hour, and he resolutely revolt.
Looking at the vast lake, King Ning beat his chest and persuaded his sons bitterly, they are all King Ning's hardcore subordinates, and they belong to grasshoppers on a rope, and King Ning has no good end if they are defeated, although they persuade their father to think about it, but the sadness on his face can't be hidden.
"Father, we haven't exhausted the mountains and rivers yet, isn't there still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses."
"Father, you are the desire of the people, as long as you wave your arms, the people of Jiangxi will definitely join the army." Having said that, in fact, everyone knows that King Ning is over, and it is only a matter of time before he is defeated and captured, and everyone just wants to comfort him, but when King Ning heard this, he suddenly became excited and said: "This king still has a secret buried treasure, waiting for it to be used as a military salary after the incident, take it out to recruit troops and buy horses, or it will be another 100,000 army in a few days!" Hmph and this king fight, they are still tender. As soon as they heard that King Ning still had hidden treasures, the godsons' eyes suddenly lit up, and the bottom of their words became stronger, and they were talking noisily about regrouping and doing a great job.
After discussion, they prepared to divide the troops into two routes, one way to stay in Poyang Lake and deal with the imperial court, and all the way to Jingdezhen to recruit troops, Zuo Mengeng is new and unfamiliar with the terrain of Jiangxi, so he naturally wants to keep him in the lake
"You're trying to get rid of me and dig for treasure." Zuo Mengeng is not stupid, he argues that he has to follow to dig up the treasure, and the other seven Taibao bully him as a newcomer, but he does not agree, Zuo Mengeng is angry and threatens to break up in two, then the other Taibao are scared, you must know that now in the army under the command of King Ning, Zuo Menggeng's people account for more than half, if they leave, King Ning, these thousands of remnants of the army will not be able to make any waves, after some noise and compromise, the two sides finally reached a consensus, after digging out the treasure, everyone will divide it equally, of course, these conspiracies are carried out privately behind King Ning's back.
Ning Wangjun rested on the lake for a day, and was about to set sail to the east coast, when he suddenly saw a huge monster in the sky, with a blue face and fangs, it was very scary, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be an airship of the imperial army, and everyone was shocked, and they hid in the cabin and did not dare to come out, but the airship did not attack them, just dropped a lot of leaflets in the air, turned around and left.
Most of the leaflets fell into the water, but many of them floated to the deck, and King Ning ordered someone to take a picture and watch it, which was printed on it: You have been surrounded by the imperial army, and it is meaningless to resist stubbornly, and your wife and children are waiting for you at home.
King Ning disdainfully cared about how he was only worth a thousand taels of silver, he had always been very generous to his subordinates, and the reward was ten taels of silver, and the annual salary of the Taibao was also ten thousand taels, so he didn't believe that someone sold himself for a thousand taels of silver.
But the Taibao didn't think so, what they valued was not the thousand taels of silver, but the title of commander-in-chief. King Ning has twelve, four Taibao died on the battlefield, and there are eight left, except for the new old twelve Zuo Menggeng, the other seven are all perennial together, the relationship is quite iron, at this time, the seven Taibao slipped to the side and whispered, their seven brothers have formed an alliance, share weal and woe, and share wealth, the current situation is so unbearable, it is time to find a good way out, Jiangxi is surrounded on all sides, the imperial court is mighty, confrontation is no way out, the only bright road is surrender, but it is best to get the treasure of King Ning before surrendering, and then slaughtered King Ning, the seven brothers surrendered with their heads, anyway, the court did not say whether to die Ning Wang or live King Ning, no matter which brother is the chief soldier, he can bring other brothersMy brother can also be promoted to a general and deputy general, so that they can live the same happy life as when they were the Taibao of Ning Wangfu.
As for what to do with the old twelve, the seven brothers unanimously decided to kill this stumbling block, because Zuo Mengeng's father was killed by Liu Ziguang, so he would definitely oppose surrendering, and his soldiers had a dispute with one or two thousand times, and it was difficult for the seven brothers to get a bargain, so they must kill him...... A moment later, a drenched man climbed onto Zuo Mengeng's ship, took off his fish skin, leaned into the water, and came to the cabin and said softly: "Young marshal, they have decided to do it." Zuo Mengeng sneered: "These wastes really can't bear it." If you want to play, I'll play with them. King Ning was sitting in the cabin drinking, and suddenly the seven Taibao rushed in, all of them looked panicked, holding weapons in their hands, and whispered: "Father, the big thing is not good, Zuo Mengeng wants to rebel, our troops are not as good as him, so we have to withdraw quickly." King Ning exclaimed: "What Mengeng wants to rebel!" Take the king's imprisoned dragon stick and come here, the king will not sit still! The fifth Taibao said with tears in his eyes: "Father, you are a good man on the 6th earth, but this is Baili Poyang Lake, we can't beat Zuo Mengeng, those elite sailors, you and your brothers will withdraw first, and I and the sixth and seventh will drag them down, father, you must take care of the dragon body." At this time, there were already faint sounds of killing and weapons colliding outside, and it seemed that the two sides had already started fighting.
The Eighth Taibao and the Ninth Taibao rushed over with an arrow step, grabbed King Ning left and right, and ran out, and suddenly the Tenth Taibao said: "Slowly, please ask my father to take off the python robe, and the retainers will put it on, attract the pursuers, and you and the other brothers will raise treasures, recruit troops, buy horses, and avenge the retainers." With tears in his eyes, King Ning patted the shoulders of the Tenth Taibao and said, "Good son, this king did not misunderstand you. The Tenth Taibao also shed tears and whimpered: "Father...."The scene was very warm and touching for a while.
Wu Taibao hurriedly said: "Don't delay the time, except for the queen of the palace, you want to divide into three ways to confuse the pursuers, which way to arrive first, the first to get out of the treasure, recruit troops and buy horses, this matter can not be delayed, we are divided into three ways to escape, the hope is most." ”
"But what if the king unfortunately falls into the hands of an adversary? Even if you escape, you won't be able to raise the treasure, so you won't be able to recruit troops. King Ning suddenly appeared this question and asked with a frown.
"Yes, this may delay my father's important affairs." The Fifth Taibao made a sudden realization.
"That's good, this king will tell you where the treasure is buried, who will arrive first, and who will get up first, exchange the treasure for silver, and recruit soldiers, and you can't delay it." As he spoke, he took out a treasure map from his bosom and explained it to everyone.
After listening to King Ning's explanation of the treasure map, the expression of the seven Taibao suddenly relaxed, hugged their arms one by one, laughed, and the eleventh Taibao whistled outside, and the sound of the battle outside also calmed down at once, King Ning looked at him, and the seven righteous sons asked puzzledly: "Children, why is this?" The fifth Taibao's face changed, and he snatched the treasure map from King Ning's hand and stuffed it into his arms, saying, "Father, I have to borrow something from you." Although King Ning was a little paranoid, he was not a fool, and he had already sensed the disagreement at this time, and asked while slowly retreating: "Little Wu, what do you want to borrow from this king?" The fifth Taibao smiled and said, "I want to borrow my father's head to give my brothers a name." At this time, King Ning was already close to his throne, and suddenly quickly picked up a pair of imprisoned dragon sticks placed next to his seat, and shouted angrily: "If you want to rebel, you can't succeed, first ask this king's imprisoned dragon rod if you agree!" He didn't take the dragon stick, fortunately, as soon as he picked up the dragon stick, the seven Taibao laughed again, as if they had seen something extremely ridiculous, one by one covered their stomachs, wiped their tears, laughed wildly, and after a while, the eight Taibao suppressed their laughter and said: "Father, don't take out your three-legged cat's kung fu to show off, anyone here can clean you up in two clicks." King Ning was furious, and waved the prison dragon stick towards the Eighth Taibao, but as soon as he pounced out, the Seventh Taibao next to him stretched out his legs and shook Ning Wang's dog to chew on, and a pair of prison dragon sticks also came out of his hand.
Before he had time to get up, he stepped on a few feet on his back, only to hear the voice of the Fifth Taibao: "Don't waste time, after a while, Zuo Mengeng will send someone to ask why there is noise here, hurry up and slaughter this old boy!" "King Ning is in tears, these godsons he raised are simply white-eyed wolves, it's useless to say anything now, he can only close his eyes and resign himself to fate, only to hear the sound of the steel knife slowly pulling out the scabbard, and then the knife is on his neck, you can feel the cold cold, the steel knife suddenly waved, and then with the sound of the wind, King Ning closed his eyes, but before waiting for the fatal knife, he heard a crisp sound, and then the blade clashing and the crowd of people pouring in, the chaotic footsteps, the deck of the battleship shook, and everywhere there were shouts of killing and blades entering** muffled sound.
King Ning only felt that his back was loose, and those feet were gone, and then Zuo Mengeng's sincere face appeared in front of him: "Father, the king, and the sons are late to save the car, and I hope to forgive the sins." ”
