Chapter 62: The Captive
On the second day after Ping Yuanzhong was assassinated and burned, Yang Jingtong, who was supposed to be under house arrest in Xuzhou City, suddenly appeared outside Mengxi City.
He had a bit of a smirk on his face, what if some people were so powerful? It's not dead yet. If you hadn't killed me first, I wouldn't have worked hard to cooperate with Liu Xiao.
Jiang Liangtong looked at the fool downstairs in this city from afar, and he couldn't restrain his expression? I'm afraid that others won't know that you're happy.
The holy decree also arrived in the evening of the same day, Yang Jingtong was appointed as the commander-in-chief, Liu Xiao was the deputy marshal, and Ping Yuanzhong's death was lightly carried over, without posthumous sealing, without giving a nickname, as if the death was just a small soldier.
The sky in Nanwei has changed, and the little emperor has completely become the marionette hanging on the wooden shelf.
The soldiers did not seem to have any objection to Yang Bainuo as the commander-in-chief, but in private, the news that General Ping was not assassinated by the enemy continued to ferment.
The Nanwei Army, which was supposed to continue to attack Sumen County, rested in Mengxi County like this.
Yang Jingtong, who didn't understand the affairs of the barracks, looked at the flattering man in front of him.
"Yang Shuai, we have to take this opportunity to promote more talents." Liu Xiao was half-kneeling, beating Yang Jingtong's legs.
The man, who was evenly and skillfully handy, closed his eyes and lay back. "You can just do it."
A large number of important generals were removed, and Liu Xiao's cronies quickly ascended to power, and the entire military camp was in a miasma.
Jiang Liangtong, who was sent to take charge of the gang leader, looked at all this coldly, the wicked have their own harvest, and God does not accept it by himself.
Liu Xiao, who did evil, was extremely sad on his face, as if Yang Jingtong was forcing him to do it with a big knife against his back.
He apologized and said goodbye to every demoted general, and Jiang Liangtong cooperated with him and saluted him.
The infighting in Nanwei gave Qian Tianhe time to counterattack.
He requisitioned a large number of civilian ships from Sumen County and Furukawa County.
These civilian ships, which had been idle for most of the year due to the war, were gathered together to repair, refurbish, and remodel. It has become a big boost to Qian Tianhe's counteroffensive.
It was already a foggy season, and before dawn, Qian Tianhe and the vanguard with more than 3,000 people quietly landed on the shore through the thick fog. The boatman set up a small boat and hurried back while the fog was still clear.
They lurked along the dark passage into Mengxi County, and tonight was the death day of these tens of thousands of troops.
In the room, Jiang Liangtong looked at the head soldier who was cooking, but his thoughts had already drifted away.
Today is the first seven years of General Ping. Most of the brothers who fought together on the Xiaxi border back then have died, and now only he and Shou Feiyu are still alive.
Shou Feiyu was sent by Liu Xiao to take care of weapons, and he became a supervisor of cooking fire.
Jiang Liangtong, who had changed into a night suit, was evading the patrolling guards with a short sword, and he would walk to the house where Liu Xiao lived. The lights are still on.
He dodged the lights in case his shadow alerted him. Cautiously approach, and closer, there is no one in the house?
It was a clear night, and countless stars twinkled and overshadowed the moonlight from the crescent moon.
Just after the first watch, the three thousand soldiers split up, and Qian Tianhe went straight to the only intact mansion in the city.
According to Yang Bainuo's urine, he should still like to live in this high house and bright tile.
The 1,000 soldiers who were ordered to burn down the barracks were the first to notice that something was wrong, and the number of the Nanwei army was much smaller than expected.
Qian Tianhe killed the guards in front of the door and came to Yang Bainuo's bed smoothly.
For the first time, he knew that someone could sleep so soundly on the front line of danger. This is all a step-free, and you don't have to knock people out at all.
He quickly bound people with his hands and feet, and took them away, the barracks, the city gates, and the corner towers...... At the same time there was a fire. This secret passage will be exposed this time, and it is estimated that it will be exposed.
He handed over the sleeping Yang Bainuo to two cronies, and he joined the rest of the soldiers.
The spear and halberd were not easy to carry, and when they came, they only had the short sword and dagger in their hands, but now, most of them were equipped with spears. They snatched it on their own.
The fire was chaotic, but Qian Tianhe couldn't see the old man who had been promoted to the deputy commander of the enemy camp.
This place is really weird.
With the firelight, Jiang Liangtong hurriedly rushed to the weapons battalion, most of the weapons were missing, and the fire lasted for a long time. He hurriedly found Shou Feiyu and quickly integrated the remaining soldiers with him.
Liu Xiao, a bastard, began to transfer his cronies' troops more than once, and even took himself with him, leaving these soldiers who were unwilling to share his heart to die here.
The two gathered a lot of people and hurried to the south of Mengxi County. After leaving the south gate, they could escape, and he didn't believe that Liu Xiao could still close the city gate and prevent more than 2,000 people from entering Xuanzhou City.
In the north city wall of Mengxi County, there were only more than 300 people guarding the city, Qian Tianhe effortlessly captured the city wall from the inside, and welcomed Shu Bai and his party, who had just arrived by boat, into the city.
It was smoother than planned, but it was also worse than planned, and in the end, the Nanwei army still failed to hurt the muscles and bones, only the flesh and skin.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Liang and his party rushed to the north gate of Xuanzhou City. There was a loud shout and a knock on the door, but the gate was not opened.
The total annihilation that Liu Xiao imagined did not happen, and Qian Tianhe, who had spare strength, did not pursue as expected.
Qian Tianhe stood on the city wall, looking at the ruined city, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.
Liu Xiao is a real villain, and he plans to let himself help him completely destroy this two-hearted person. But he shouldn't have thought that this Yang Bainuo is still alive and well.
After all, this person is a fool, he is still in a high position, and if he lives for a while, he will be able to reduce the casualties of this own soldier, and maybe he will be able to end this battle as soon as possible.
Yang Bainuo, who woke up halfway, was knocked unconscious by the soldiers and thrown into the county jail.
The smell of sour rot that he had never smelled came, and Yang Bainuo, who had woken up again, curled up in the corner of the cell, looking at the gray-haired mice jumping around his feet, and the irrepressible nausea surged.
What the hell is the place? The environment is too bad. After all, we are relatives of the emperor, and the captives must also be dignified.
Rancid meals, tattered clay bowls, and a sip of water for a few days. The originally white and chubby Yang Bainuo completely became Yang wax yellow.
Qian Tianhe walked into the cell with a pinch. "Yang Shuai, look up for a long time."
Yang Bainuo, who had already been tortured and lost his temper, looked at this unfamiliar face. "What's the matter? Let's talk about it. ”
"The deputy marshal of your military camp doesn't seem to want you to go back, and I have sent people to discuss it many times, but he has not responded."
How do I always meet villains, Ping Yuanzhong wants to assassinate me, and Liu Xiao wants to borrow a knife to kill people, they are all bastards. "So I'm going to die?"
"How come, as long as Yang Shuai wants to go back, I am willing to help."
The man who had been blinded and looked like a dead thing suddenly came to his senses. "Is that true?"
"Seriously."
Liu Xiao, who thought that Yang Bainuo was dead, was about to report to the imperial court, and Qian Tianhe's peace letter was delivered.
The messenger was a chicken thief, and as soon as he arrived at the city of Xuanzhou, he shouted in a loud voice, "Yang Shuai has been captured by our army, and our commander asks for peace." ”
He even held a big banner in his hand, written in big ink, for fear that no one would know.
In the city of Xuanzhou, there are many cronies installed by the Queen Mother, and no matter how careful Liu Xiao is, he does not dare to guarantee that these nails have been completely removed.
