Chapter 394: A Contest Without Weapons

In the big tent of the main general of the Chu army, Yang Ming shouted, "Come on!" Two warriors like iron towers outside the tent quickly rushed in, one grabbed one of Tu Qi's hands, and prepared to drag the general out.

Tu Qi shouted: "Wronged!

Yang Ming sneered: "Wronged? People who are not wronged like to be wronged the most! Surrender by deception, and with such indiscriminate means, they want to hide from me that I am a veteran soldier who has been on the battlefield for a long time! Drag me out and chop me to pieces!"

Tu Qi let out a long sigh, and then shouted loudly: "Wucheng, you are wrong! The world is hot and cold, so the people are ruthless! The master of the village, the great enmity of the Xiang clan, we have to rely on ourselves to avenge it, a thousand should not, never should, we want to rely on Chu Niao'er! Xiang Qi is one step ahead!"

Yang Ming saw that Tu Qi's body was not as strong as many warriors in Pakistan, but his voice was very loud, and he said in a sarcastic tone: "Hahaha, I have seen through the trick, what do you think?"

"The fool is not enough to speak, but he wants to die quickly!" said Tu Qi dryly.

Yang Ming said: "It seems that you are not convinced! Since you have come to offer the surrender letter, you must know that the relevant sections in it are wrong, and I think it is fraudulent." ”

"What's wrong with the joint?" said Tu Qi.

"Wucheng is originally from the Chu State and wants to return to the Chu State, which is easy to understand, but he said that there are more than 100 people under him, and they can listen to him and surrender together?

"In addition to the intimate backbone, to other people, we lied that it was a fraudulent surrender, and when we entered the Pavilion Pass, we couldn't help ourselves, and those who didn't surrender were dealt with by you, such a simple truth, you don't understand?

"Hehehe! Lie about defrauding and surrendering? I think it's a deception! Even if this point is cleverly said by you, there is another point: why don't you descend early or late, and only come to surrender at this juncture?" Yang Ming sneered.

"Hahaha! May I ask the general, why didn't you come to Tingziguan earlier? If you had come early, you would have come down early. If you don't see that the state of Chu takes Dan Fushui, you are already in front of you, and you dare to risk hundreds of lives and hundreds of years of inheritance?"

Yang Ming pondered.

The more details are argued, the easier it is to leak out, Tu Qi didn't want to argue with Yang Ming, so he didn't wait for Yang Ming to ask the third question, and said angrily: "Yang Ming! I don't want to say more! You don't argue the truth or falsehood, you have a false name! You are so stupid, sooner or later you will be captured by the Ba people! Don't talk nonsense, please kill me immediately to fulfill my name!"

After saying that, Tu Qi tried his best to go out of the tent, and the two samurai held it with all their strength.

Yang Ming laughed, Ling pulled Tuqi back, and said with a smile: "It's a hard one." I'll give you a reply after I've thought about it. and treat him with food. ”

The two samurai carried out as if they were carrying a little chicken baby.

Chu General Qu Rong watched this scene while reading the book of surrender, and then said: "General, how do you read this book of surrender?"

Yang Ming asked Qu Rong to sit down, and sighed: "Wu Zhen, Wu Fang, Wu Cheng, father and son, are all heroes, but unfortunately they were framed by traitors and could not be used by our king, so they were forced to leave the Chu State. I had already received the news that Wu Zhen and his wife and Wu Cheng were beaten into the sinkhole, I thought Wu Cheng was dead, but I didn't expect that a kind person left him alive, which can be regarded as providence. ”

Wu Zhen, the former historian of Chu State, father and son, Qu Rong is an old acquaintance, heard Yang Ming say that Wu Zhen was framed by a traitor, and his heart was a little hot, because there was his "credit", but he did not show a trace of Yang Ming's suspicion, and said: "Could it be that there is fraud in it?"

Yang Ming thought about it again and again, and then said: "Actually, I didn't see anything wrong for a while. However, what is said in the book is indeed completely consistent with the news reported back by my secret agent. ”

When Qu Rong first came, he was far from knowing the specific situation of the Ba tribe in this area, and asked, "General, why do you say that?"

"First, it is true that Wucheng killed the famous general of Pakistan;

"Second, Wu Zhen and the three of them were beaten into the No. 1 dangerous sinkhole in Hu'an Mountain, which is really true;

"Third, the former Zhongqing Xiangshan of the Hu'an Mountain tribe and his son, Wu Bai Chang Xiangmei and more than 20 top warriors of the Xiang clan were executed by the Hu'an Palace for treason, which is still true;

"Fourth, this person in Wucheng is strong in martial arts, and if there is revenge, he will revenge, and the revenge of killing his father is placed on him, and it is impossible not to revenge, which is also true;

"Fifth, I know very well that Wucheng, this person has never had a plan, and he will definitely not be able to do it, and more importantly, I really can't find any reason why he is working for Pakistan. ”

Qu Rong nodded lightly.

"In addition to that, there are two other things that make me have to seriously consider whether this is a great opportunity or not. First, the dream dragon killed my brother, Tutian Qi killed the tiger general General Slip Zai, these two big enemies have not been avenged, at this time someone sent a courtesy, I think, will it be two famous generals who sacrificed their lives for the country to help the spirit of the sky;

"Second, Brother Qu, you see, this blood-character robe itself has a history. ”

Qu Rong doubted: "What is the origin of this clothes?"

Yang Ming thought for a moment, and then said: "This dress must be from Wucheng." One year, on my birthday, my wife made me new clothes and said, 'Your life is in the hands of some of the close guards, and you will make a new set of clothes for each of them.'

"Look at this clothes, it's been several years, although it's a little old, it's not tattered, which shows that Wucheng doesn't often wear it, but it was brought to Ba from the far away Chu State, and he still brought it with him to the battlefield. It can be seen that he has indeed not forgotten me. It is reasonable for him to want to be in my hands and return to the country with meritorious service. ”

Qu Rong only nodded lightly again.

Moreover, if the attack on Yucheng has not been carried out for a long time, the morale of the army is a big problem, and some have begun to be impatient, while others have begun to be scattered. Now, it is a pity not to send such a big gift, of course. ”

Qu Rong knew best in his heart that this war had been delayed for many days for no reason, and Yang Ming was afraid that there would be extraneous branches, and his long-cherished wish for many years would become a painting cake when it was about to take shape, hoping to have a break as soon as possible, thought about it for a while, and then said: "Do you want to invite a few more people to discuss and debate the truth?"

Yang Ming said: "This matter is important, and it is so. ”

Yang Ming sent an order to the general to ask for permission from the general. He thinks that it doesn't make much sense to invite other people with mediocre intelligence to come, and if Love will Zhuang Fu here, he will definitely ask Zhuang Fu's opinion.

After a short time, Chu General Zhaoyun was ordered to enter the account, sat down, listened to Yang Ming explain the situation, and carefully read the surrender book, and then said: "To be honest, I can't see that this surrender letter itself is too suspicious. When Wu Zhen left Chu, he had to be in love, Wucheng had no ink, and it was really difficult for him to surrender. Unless, at the behest of others. ”

Yang Ming said: "What you say is in line with me. I believe in Witch City, but I really need to consider whether other people can be trusted. ”

Zhao Yun said: "Major events in the army, don't be careless, don't be afraid of big snakes blocking the way, just afraid of small insects burrowing their stomachs, it's better to be careful." ”

Yang Ming and Qu Rong both nodded yes.

Zhao Yun continued: "In addition, even if the surrender book is true or false, and the two of them are captured, the Yuba army will only lose two generals, and they can be cut off on the battlefield in the future. If you fall for the tricks of the Ba people, the pavilion will be closed and lost, and you will not be able to eat, and you will have to go away. ”

Yang Ming said: "Of course. However, our army had been slashing all the way to capture the pass, and it was going smoothly, and when it was about to take Yucheng, the Ba people unexpectedly made a white tiger formation, resulting in a great defeat for our army, and the spirit was suddenly greatly reduced. In my opinion, if it goes on like this, I won't be able to take Yucheng for a while. ”

This time, it was Qu Rong's turn and Zhao Yun nodded yes.

Yang Ming continued: "I said earlier that to conquer Yushui Salt Spring, you must conquer the local samurai. Dreamdragon, Tutianqi, Bapeng, and Gongbiao are the highest, most famous, and most appealing tiger generals in Danfushui's local martial arts.

"More importantly, if the Xiang clan defects to the battlefield, it will definitely cause great panic and mutual suspicion among other local tribes, and the Ba people may become a scattered sand. In this way, taking Yucheng will speed up the progress. ”

Yangming's idea of "conquering the hearts of the Ba people" is consistent with Qu Rong, who nodded.

Zhao Yun said: "The general's words hit the nail on the head. ”

Yang Ming said: "In addition, of course I have other considerations. The two of them, Zhu Menglong and Tutianqi, have intercepted and killed our country's famous generals, so when the soldiers heard the names of the two, they committed gallbishness and cold, and eliminated these two enemies, and the morale of our army will be boosted. Of course, I also have a mind that everyone knows: get rid of these two people, and I will be at ease.

"For my side, if we don't attack Yucheng for a long time, and the soldiers are slack, something big will happen, and if it doesn't work well, the same thing as the picture may come out again. ”

Zhao Yun said: "As General Taoguang said, our army is fighting quickly. Taking Yucheng, of course, the faster the better, and the more it drags on, the more disadvantageous. In the long run, if you can't get the Funiu Mountain Salt Spring this time, it will be even more difficult to get it again in the future. On the contrary, the morale of Pakistan will be revived at that time. Therefore, everything that is conducive to speeding up the disintegration of the Pakistani army should be tried as soon as possible!"

Qu Rong said: "Originally, if Shu raised troops according to the agreement, and Pakistan dealt with it at both ends, we here, the pressure would be much less." However, the people of Shu want to benefit, but they can't think of it, they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the thunder is loud, and the rain is small. ”

Zhao Yun said: "The last general thinks that it is necessary to prepare both hands to avoid missing this God-given opportunity and to prevent being deceived.

"On the one hand, agree to Wucheng and surrender to Xiangzhen, whether it is true or not, as long as they dare to enter the Pavilion Pass, everything is in the hands of our army; ”

Yang Ming was overjoyed and said: "Look at the three of me, smart for half a life, confused for a while, and discussed for a long time, this is the important thing to get to the point." In this way, the best of both worlds is perfect. ”

Of course, Chu General Qu Rong also suspected that this might be a fraudulent letter, but he was also not sure, and the selfishness in his heart had the upper hand slightly, and he said a sentence that was both responsible and irresponsible: "General, this matter is very important, my king and Ling Yin are both in Yicheng, it is better to report this matter to the king." ”

Yang Ming shook his head and said: "Jiang Taigong once said to King Wu of Zhou: If you don't hear the king's orders, everything in the army will come out of the general. The situation of the battlefield is changing rapidly, and there is no reason to go back and forth for hundreds of miles. ”

Qu Rong smiled awkwardly: "It's the last general who is ignorant." ”

Yang Ming got up and ordered Tuqi to enter the account. Qu Rong and Zhao Yun naturally got up.

Yang Ming said to Tu Qi: "Wucheng, Xiangzhen asked you to come and offer a book of surrender, there must still be conditions, please make it clear." ”
