Text Chapter 403 Chao Gai Two Dozen Zengtou City (3)
The urn city was extremely miserable, and there was a period of chaos outside, and the sudden change made everyone in Liangshan startled, but when they reacted, the city gate had been closed, and Qin Ming and several people desperately led the military horses to prepare to attack the city to rescue Li Kui and others, but they tried several times and were used as bows and arrows in Zengtou City, so they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and make plans.
After a while, there were not many Liangshan military horses left in the urn city, Li Kui and Bao Xu were hit by an arrow in their legs, although it was not deep, but it had affected walking, fighting, and the flying sage Li Gon and the eight-armed Nezha Xiangchong next to them had to protect them with shields and be beaten passively.
Seeing that it was almost over, Shi Wengong didn't want to kill the leader of Liangshan, so he waved his hand and ordered the archers to stop, and then personally rushed down the city with men and horses.
Besides, Chao Gai led the military horse back to the camp, full of remorse, and everyone in the big tent was silent, not only did not make progress for several days, but also took in eight brothers, and everyone was uncomfortable, so they sat there with their heads bowed and silent.
After a long time, the military advisor next to him, General Lu, who was too learned, spoke, and said at the moment: "Brother, brothers, this is not the time to sigh, those eight brothers are deeply trapped in Zengtou City, life and death are uncertain, the top priority is to break through Zengtou City and rescue my Liangshan brothers." ”
Hearing what General Lu said, everyone also came to the spirit, Chao Gai also nodded, and said: "What the military advisor said is right, the top priority at this time is to find a way to rescue those eight brothers. ”
"Little brother is here." Shi Qian heard Chao Gai's call, and immediately walked out of the crowd, hugged Chao Gai's heavy fist, and responded.
Chao Gai nodded and said, "The life and death of my eight brothers in Zengtou City is uncertain, so I bothered Brother Shiqian to go and investigate to see if they are alive or dead?" ”
At that moment, Shi Qian said: "Brother don't worry, the younger brother will go back when he goes." After speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Not to mention how Liangshan was arranged, just talking about Zengtou City, everyone won another battle, caught the four leaders of Liangshan, and happily came to the meeting hall.
The second son, Zeng Mi, saw that his father was worried, and he was a little puzzled at the moment, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Father, now that we have won another battle, it is the time to celebrate, why is my father depressed?" ”
Zeng Lang sighed heavily at the moment, and said: "Son, how can Liangshanbo be so easy to deal with, we won a game but it was just a surprise, once Liangshanbo launched a ruthless attack on our Zengtou City, the imperial army could not deal with it, not to mention us, what should we do in the future, so I plan to shake hands with Liangshanbo, accompany some gold and silver items, and let them go back, it will be regarded as a disaster to avoid disaster." ”
After a while, Shi Wengong said: "The old lady's words are the best policy, and now Liangshanbo is strong, not something that we can deal with in Zengtou City, it is better to shake hands and make peace, and from then on, the well water will not interfere with the river water, and everyone will be happy." ”
Zeng Kui next to him was still a little unwilling, his two brothers died in the hands of Liang Shan, how could he be willing, and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, do you mean that if we admit defeat like this, the revenge of the eldest brother and the fifth brother will not be avenged?" ”
Zeng Lane heard that his two sons were also angry, and immediately said: "Son, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and the old man will definitely repay the pain of losing his son, but is it not now, that Liangshan thief Kou said that Po Datian is also a homeless grass Kou who occupies the mountain as the king, and sooner or later he will be exterminated by Chao Gai, and then it will be the time for us to take revenge. ”
Hearing Zeng Lang's words, the three sons stopped talking, and they all agreed with Zeng Rong's idea, temporarily ceased war with Liang Shanbo, and shook hands and made peace.
The next day, he had written a letter of surrender, and he quickly sent one person to Dazhai in Liangshanbo. At that moment, there was a small school in Liangshan to know Chao Gai and others, someone in Zengtou City sent a book, and Chao Gai heard that he hurriedly summoned the teaching. After a while, the colonel walked in and presented the book, Chao Gai took the letter, and when he opened it, he saw that it was written: Zeng Tou City Lord Zeng made a pause, and then bowed to the leader of Chao Tianwang's army: We and other mountain and grass people, relying on the courage of the moment, mistakenly offended the tiger. The king of heaven led the crowd to come, and the reason should be attached. However, there are no unprovoked pawns, arresting the heroes of Liangshan, and even the crime of taking horses, although there is no excuse! The original is not the original intention. Now the naughty dog is dead, and the envoy is sent to make peace. If the war is stopped, the horses will be returned, and the three armies will be rewarded with more gold and silk, so as not to be injured twice. I hereby enshrine the book, and beg to take a look.
Chao Gai read the book, and was furious in his heart at the moment, and scolded him: "Catch my Liangshan brothers, kill my Liangshan people, just wait to wash the village, that once made the old man's good calculation, as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip, this matter will be over?" No way! ”
Hearing Chao Gai's scolding, the scholar in Zengtou City was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground, trembling all over. Wu Yong, who was next to him, hurriedly persuaded: "Brother, it's bad." We are all angry. Since the Zeng family sent someone to write a book to talk about peace, is it a momentary anger and a loss of righteousness? ”
At this time, Zhu Wu, the god machine military master next to him, and Lu Jiang, a madman from Taixue, also stepped forward to dissuade him, Chao Gai thought about it, and then wrote back the book and took ten taels of silver to reward him. Return the book to the village. When Zeng Lane and Shi Wengong opened it and looked at it, it wrote:
The lord of Liangshan Bo will be the king of Tuota Chao Gai, and the handwritten reply to the lord of Zengtou City has made the account: the country rules the world with faith, and will be brave and suppress foreign countries, what are people rude, and wealth is not righteous and not taken. Liangshanbo and Zengtou City have no enmity and guard the border. Nayur will do a momentary evil and cause injustice for several years. If you want to make peace, you must return the horses that were originally seized for the second time, and you must take the horses and the murderer Zeng Mi and reward the soldiers with gold silk. Loyalty, courtesy, and rest. If it changes, don't decide.
Zeng Lang everyone was furious after reading the letter, for no other reason, Liang Shanbo actually asked them to hand over the second son Zeng Mi, and now Zeng Lang's five sons are only three sons, and now they are handed over to Liang Shan, which makes Zeng Lane how can he agree, when the angry beard turned up, he scolded, and said: "Liangshan thief Kou is really unreasonable, I am kind and kind, shake hands and make peace, but I don't know how to make an inch, really when I am Zengtou City, no one can not do it." ”
At the moment, he also gave up the idea of reconciling with Liangshan, and ordered Shi Wengong and Su Ding, as well as their three sons Zeng Mi, Zeng Suo, and Zeng Kui, to defend strictly, and prepare to fight to the death with the Liangshan bandits.
Zengtou City rejected the news of Liangshan, Chao Gai they naturally knew, in fact, Chao Gai had no intention of shaking hands with Zengtou City, Zengtou City was strong, although it was not as good as Liangshan, but it was not to be underestimated, and Zengtou City was in Yuncheng County, very close to Liangshan, how could the side of the couch allow others to snore, Zengtou City is like a ding. Time. Explode. If you don't get rid of it for a day, you won't be able to sleep well for a day.
Sent away the envoy of Zengtou City at the moment, Chao Gai arranged for everyone to step up training, since they couldn't outwit it, then they came to attack, Liangshan's Shenwei Battalion, that is, the artillery battalion of Thunder Lingzhen, had not yet appeared, and it was time to let Zengtou City know that Liangshan was not something they could afford to provoke.
At this moment, the drums on the fleas who entered Zengtou City to investigate moved back and came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and first greeted Chao Gai and everyone.
Seeing that Shi Qian returned, Chao Gai hurriedly asked, "Brother Shi Qian, but you have found out Li Kui's whereabouts?" Is it life or death? ”
At that moment, Shi Qian didn't dare to slack off, so he told him what he had heard, and said: "Brother Chao Gai, brothers, Li Kui and the eight of them are safe and sound, and they were locked up in the prison by the people of Zengtou City, although they said that life was not good, but there was no danger to their lives, the younger brother wanted to sneak into the prison secretly, but they defended too tightly, and the younger brother was afraid of revealing his identity, so he didn't take any risks, and hurriedly returned to want his brother and all the brothers to report the news." ”
Hearing that Li Kui and the others were not dead, Chao Gai and the others breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately let Shi Qian go back to rest, and then continued to discuss the matter of attacking Zengtou City.
