Yao Liang smiled and raised his hands and pressed them down to calm everyone down, and then said: "We have arrived in Xinye after all our hard work, and we can't let this piece of fat escape from our mouths!" Now I'm going to make arrangements for how to get into the city. ”

"Give me all the ladders you have just made, and let my men climb over the walls and enter the city. After that, open the gates and rush in together. ……”

Those leaders listened carefully to Yao Liang's arrangement, because the people brought by Yao Liang undertook the most dangerous task of climbing the city wall and seizing the city gate, and those leaders had no objections.

Speaking of zuihou, Yao Liang said, "Have you all remembered your position in the city? zuihou said one more thing: After entering the city, you must not kill innocents indiscriminately, and you must not insult women. Remember. We are a rebel army that robs the rich and gives to the poor! ”

Yao Liang's words made the faces of some leaders a little ugly. At this moment, a leader next to him interjected: "The words of the big cabinet are really right. We want to take the long view, not to covet the pleasures of the moment. Whoever violates it, I, Tie Si, will first turn his face and deny people. "It looks like sycophants are everywhere!

Yao Liang smiled at Tie Si with an appreciative face, and said, "Brother Tie still understands things!" After entering the city, you can take your people and me to move together! ”

The rest of the leaders immediately understood what Tie Si had just said, and had already made Yao Liang take Tie Si as a confidant, and they were secretly regretting it in their hearts, so they hurriedly made up for it: "Listen to the big cabinet." We are the rebels! ”

When those leaders saw Yao Liang with his more than 600 people, holding a ladder to the front of the team, they couldn't help but be a little lucky, not only glad that they were not cannon fodder, but also glad that they had taken refuge in a benevolent and brave leader. So unconsciously, those new people gradually integrated into Yao Liang's team.

But just when Yao Liang was about to give the order to attack the city. The gate creaked open, which made everyone confused, and one of the leaders said in confusion: "How did you open the gate?" Is there an ambush inside? ”

Everyone immediately prepared for the possible rush of soldiers from the city. But after waiting for a long time, I only saw a few people standing at the gate of the city and constantly waving to Yao Liang and them.

"What's going on?" Ye Chao asked Yao Liang in surprise.

"Whatever he is! Rush over first, control the city gate! Yao Liang immediately ordered. So Fu Sheng immediately rushed to the city gate with his two companies. There was no danger, and the city gate of Xinye County was occupied by Yao Liang and them.

The people who opened the city gate were the same people as Qingpi, who reported to the peasant army. Because Yao Liang's troops were too deceptive now, the gang thought it was the arrival of the peasant army. However, when they saw that it was not the peasant army that they sent out to report the news, the gang was wrong, and took Yao Liang and them to seize the whole city.

Yao Liang was also silent. did not reveal his identity at all, according to the prior arrangement, Yao Liang's leaders occupied all the key points in the city one after another. And under Yao Liang's constraints, those leaders only forced the big families in the city to take out a large amount of grain and silver, of course. It is inevitable to steal some of the goods of the people in the city. But in general, the military discipline in the city is still relatively strict.

Yao Liang mainly guarded the county government. as well as the treasury and official warehouse near the county office. Although a lot of the food in the official warehouse was taken by the victims. But there are still a lot left. Coupled with the donations of the big families in the city, Yao Liang obtained a total of more than 40,000 stones of grain, more than 1,000 taels of silver, as well as cloth, wine, medicinal materials, etc., but the silver must have exceeded 10,000 taels, which can be described as a bumper harvest.

And Yao Liang, who has made up his mind, can also count the number of people. plus the new victims in Xinye County. Now the number of Yao Liang's troops has exceeded 4,000 people. Of course, the combat effectiveness of those who have taken refuge in them is negligible.

Since the harvest has been so big, Yao Liang is ready to harvest it when he sees it, and he is ready to return to Xinji Township with food and supplies. But at this time. Spies arranged outside the city came to report that a peasant army had arrived.

Yao Liang couldn't leave at this time, he immediately closed the city gate, strengthened the city defense, and then collected a few horses from the city, so that a few soldiers who could ride horses quickly returned to Runing to report the news.

When Wu Shigong received Yao Liang's distress letter, he was immediately furious. Regardless of Yao Liang's motives, his action completely disrupted the actions of the Runing Army. But now it's useless to complain. So Wu Shigong wanted to change the military operation immediately.

Xinye County was originally a military location, but its disadvantage is that it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, so anyone who has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" knows that one of the three fires that Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain was to burn Xinye. In addition, Xinye County is a little far away from Runing, so the defensive fulcrum arranged by Wu Shigong on this road is Zaoyang County in the rear.

But Yao Liang was so free and casual, but Ru Ningjun fell into an embarrassing situation where he had to save it. For the same reason, Shinno is easy to attack and difficult to defend. The grain, grass, and materials in the city are fine, but the key thing is that the Runing Army has never abandoned its comrades.

However, a move along this road will expand the encirclement of the Runing Army a lot, and it is likely that the peasant army in the encirclement can escape through the cracks of the Runing Army and become a fish that slips through the net.

But now I can't care about so much, anyway, there are only two directions for those peasant troops to escape: one is towards Runing, but this road is basically to send them to death; All the way is in the direction of Luzhou, anyway, because of the fall of Fengyang, the imperial court has already stationed heavy troops here, and it should also allow other Ming troops to move their muscles.

After thinking about it, Wu Shigong immediately led his three hundred personal soldiers and rushed to the direction of the teaching legion. After arriving, they gathered the cavalry battalion of the teaching corps and galloped to rescue Xinye County. The Teaching Corps even sent an infantry regiment to follow the cavalry to meet the rescue.

On the way to Xinye County, Wu Shigong couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I thought I wouldn't go out this time, but I didn't expect that I would have to go on a personal expedition, I was really a hard worker!" ”

But what Wu Shigong didn't expect was that when he rushed to Xinye County with great difficulty, it was calm there. Yao Liang was still guarding in Xinye County, and the peasant army outside the city was nowhere to be seen, and what was even more unexpected was that Yu Zilian's Ruzhou Army was stationed outside Xinye County.

After sending off the messenger for help, Yao Liang was ready to defend the city. But when the peasant army appeared outside the city, they did not immediately attack the city, but only sent envoys into the city to negotiate with Yao Liang. At this time, Yao Liang remembered that his current identity was also a peasant army.

That envoy is a close confidant of the king of Guabei, he is more eloquent, the first thing is to recruit Yao Liang and them.

When King Gua Bei arrived in Xinye County, he found that he had been taken by other peasant troops, so he was quite depressed in his heart. But when he learned that it was a little-known mountain cannon that occupied Xinye County, he immediately made a wishful thinking.

King Gua Bei thought that he also had a reputation in the peasant army, as long as he recruited the peasant army in the city, he could not only enhance his own strength, but also the grain, grass, and property in the city could also fall into his hands in disguise, so he sent an envoy into the city.

Of course, Yao Liang couldn't go to the king of Guabei, but what he needed most now was time, so Yao Liang received the envoy very politely and told the envoy that he needed time to discuss this important matter with his leaders.

But after waiting for a long time, the king of melons also felt that something was wrong, so he proposed to Yao Liang: According to the rules of those who see people in the rivers and lakes, he will send himself a batch of grain and grass first.

In fact, in the rules of the peasant army, it has always been who gets whom, and the reason why the king of Gua Bei made such a request was nothing more than relying on his own strength. And if Yao Liang refuses to be solicited, then the melon back king can also get some benefits.

The request of the king of melons made it difficult for Yao Liang. From the bottom of his heart, Yao Liang would definitely not send grain to the peasant army, the enemy of the Runing army. But if you don't give the Guabbi King some grain now, it will not be like refusing the Guabbi King's solicitation, it will just be a matter of not being like-minded in the peasant army, but Yao Liang will show hostility towards the Guabbi King.

If the king of Gubei is angry and resolutely comes to attack Xinye County, can these rabble of his own be able to hold Xinye County?

Just when Yao Liang was in trouble, Yu Zilian's Ruzhou army also approached Xinye County. At this time, the king of melons had two choices, one was to flee immediately, and the other was to fight the Ruzhou army. But according to the comparison of the strength of the two sides, the king of melons will not choose the second item.

But the idiom Li Lingzhi faints is to describe the melon back king at this time, he is reluctant to give up the grain, grass and property in Xinye County! So King Guabei lowered his requirements again and asked Yao Liang to send troops to fight against the Ruzhou army with King Guabei.

Afterwards...... Do you need to say more about the results after that? Think about Yu Zilian, Weishenme will fly, Huang Tengda and Yao Liang, Weishenme will be assigned to the frontier. The two of them were old acquaintances in Ningling County, and they went to rescue Guide City together, and they were in the same boat.

So on the same night, Yao Liang got in touch with Yu Zilian, preparing to play a yin game for the melon back king in the battle the next day.

But for Yao Liang, the more troublesome thing is how to explain the situation to his leaders. So he ambushed the axemen behind the tent, just as described in the romance. But Yao Liang didn't expect that when those leaders heard that they could be recruited by the imperial court, they immediately cheered and unanimously agreed with Yao Liang's decision. In fact, at this time, the attraction of the Ming Dynasty court was still very strong in the minds of the peasant army. As a result, the melon back king was tragic. (To be continued......)
