Chapter 52 Drive the tiger and devour the wolf, and reap the profits
In the first battle of Jiugong Mountain, Liang Chun, the Taishou of Huajun, Liang Jun, the chief bookkeeper, Liang Zhi, the literary sacrifice wine, and dozens of Wenchen military generals died in ambush.
The unicorn jade seal was taken away by Sun Lang, the Taishou of Danjun.
After Liang Teng broke through, he gathered more than 8,000 remnants.
The four brothers Liang Kai, Liang Jing, Liang Yun, and Liang Shun were able to escape safely and join their father because their grandfather Liang Chun lured Sun Lang with a unicorn jade seal.
Upon learning of his father's death, Liang Teng's heart was full of anger, so he wanted to lead his troops back to Sun Lang to take revenge.
Ning Ze hurriedly persuaded: "Supervising the post, now our army is less than 10,000 soldiers, and there are no generals available." At this time, I will go to find Sun Lang, but I will kill myself! I have a plan to get rid of Sun Lang!"
At present, in addition to Liang Teng's four sons, Ning Ze is left alone. Hearing him say this, he hurriedly asked, "Will Ji An come out?"
"Superintendent, there must be Sun Lang's eyes and ears in our army, so I know that Fuzun has obtained the Qilin Jade Seal, and set up an ambush to intercept and kill. Ning Ze replied, "Tong County is too shou Li Tong, and Wuduo County is too shou Zhao Ping doesn't know. can send someone to send a message to the Taishou of Wuduo County, saying that Sun Lang has obtained the Qilin jade seal and wants to return to Danjun to establish himself as the emperor. Zhao Ping will definitely kill people and seize the seal, this is a plan to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf! Then he told Li Tong the truth, used the unicorn jade seal as bait, and asked Li Taishou to send troops to avenge the post. At that time, Zhao Ping and Sun Lang will both be defeated, and then let Li Tong attack and kill the two!"
"Do you want me to take back the jade seal and give it to Li Tong?" asked Liang Teng.
"Superintendent post, it is not the jade seal that chases the world. Not to mention that the unicorn jade seal is in Sun Lang's hands, and it is difficult to retrieve it with the current strength of our army. It's better to let Li Tong take it, and then make plans after the soldiers and horses of the three counties are killed!"
"Father," Liang Kai stood up, "the child thinks this plan is feasible!"
"Father!!" Liang Jing, Liang Yun, and Liang Shun said in unison, "The child thinks it's feasible!"
"Okay!" Liang Teng saw that his four sons agreed, and immediately said, "According to the plan of the arsenal, I will send someone to repair the book and send it to Zhao Pingjun." It's just that if our army has Sun Lang's eyes and ears, in case it is discovered and the strategy is ......"
"Don't worry!" Ning Ze arched his hand and said, "Yesterday's battle, Sun Lang's ears and eyes have been withdrawn. and if he knows this, he shall take part in the deliberations of the tent. Now that only the official remains, presumably the superintendent will not suspect it?"
"Of course the arsenal order is not Sun Lang's eyes and ears!" Liang Teng sighed, "No matter who that person is, kill him together at that time to avenge my father!"
So Liang Teng sent a letter to Zhao Ping's army.
After receiving the letter and knowing that Liang Chun had obtained the Qilin Jade Seal and was intercepted and captured by Sun Lang, Zhao Ping immediately sent someone to inquire about the dynamics of the soldiers and horses in Danjun.
When the spies reported that the soldiers and horses of Danjun had risen from the village and turned around and retreated in the direction of Jinzhou, they knew that what the letter said was true, and immediately mobilized their troops and horses to chase after them.
At the same time, Liang Teng followed Ning Ze's instructions and quickly went to Li Tong's military camp.
After entering the tent, he howled loudly.
Li Tong also found out about the movements of Sun Lang and Zhao Ping's two armies, but he didn't understand what was going on. Liang Teng came over suddenly, and cried loudly when he met, which confused him, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help: "Liang Duyou, what's the reason?"
Liang Teng cried bitterly and explained the cause and effect, one regretted not stopping his father's ambitions, the other stated his hatred for Sun Lang, and the third asked Li Tong to send troops to help him avenge his father. As long as he avenges his father, he is willing to take Li Tong as the main body, recapture the Qilin Jade Seal, and assist him to occupy Jinzhou as the foundation and compete for the world.
Li Tong was first surprised by the matter of the unicorn jade seal, and then he was overjoyed, and immediately agreed: "Brother Liang, don't worry, Li will definitely help you take revenge!"
"Xie Fuzun!" Liang Teng said with tears in his eyes, "I heard that Zhao Ping has led troops to hunt down Sun Lang in order to seize the jade seal. Fuzun can sit back and wait for the opportunity, and it is not too late to send troops when both are defeated! When the time comes, the four counties will all be owned by Fuzun!"
Hearing this, Li Tong was very excited: "If it happens, you and I will enjoy wealth together!"
Sun Lang captured the Qilin Jade Seal and immediately withdrew his troops to return to Danjun.
Halfway through, he suddenly heard that Zhao Ping was leading his troops to chase after him, so he set up camp and stood on guard.
When the two armies met, Sun Lang shouted in front of the formation: "Why is Brother Zhao chasing our army?"
"Why did Brother Sun leave in such a hurry?" Zhao Ping asked rhetorically.
"My brother has been fighting repeatedly, and he has occasionally contracted a serious illness, and he needs to go back to Danjun to find a famous doctor!"
"Oh, I think Brother Sun's illness is a Qilin Jade Seal!" Zhao Ping said with a smile.
Sun Lang's face changed: "Brother Zhao wants to talk nonsense!
"Heh, Brother Sun intercepted Liang Chun, where did he take it?" Zhao Ping asked with squinted eyes.
"This is Liang Teng's plan, deliberately separating Brother Zhao!"
"Don't say more, quickly hand over the Qilin Jade Seal!"
"Without the jade seal, how can I hand it over to Brother Zhao?"
"In this case, Zhao will take it himself!" Zhao Ping gave an order, and the whole army assaulted.
"It's too much of a deception! When I'm afraid of you?" Sun Lang ordered to fight, and the two armies clashed in front of the formation, killing the sky in the dark.
Sun Lang's army retreated while killing, and Zhao Ping's army advanced all the way, fighting for two consecutive days.
The two sides lost a large number of soldiers and horses, and formed a grudge.
When the two armies were fighting, Li Tong's soldiers and horses combined with Liang Teng's army quietly approached, stationed in the nearby mountains, and secretly observed every day.
On the third day, Liang Teng came out and said: "Fuzun, now that Zhao Ping and Sun Lang are both defeated, it is the time for our army to benefit! Liang wants to borrow 10,000 soldiers to present the heads of Zhao Ping and Sun Lang to Fuzun, as well as the unicorn jade seal!"
Hearing this, Li Tongxin said to lend you soldiers, and when the time comes, you will run away after robbing the jade seal, thinking that I am so easy to deceive?
Immediately smiled and said: "Liang Duyou, since you and I have formed an alliance, this official will definitely help you avenge your father! You and I will lead the troops to kill together, capture Sun Lang and hand it over to Duyou to deal with!"
"Xie Fuzun!" Liang Teng breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that Ning Ze had calculated that Li Tong really led the troops in person. If he really lends himself troops, he will be in trouble.
So that night, taking advantage of the night battle between the two armies of Sun Lang and Zhao Ping, Li Tong and Liang Teng led a surprise attack.
Sun Lang and Zhao Ping's armies were fighting lively, and suddenly they killed two groups of mighty armies, and they were stunned all of a sudden.
Li Tong led the army to take the lead, crushing the defeated soldiers and horses of Wuduo County and Dan County with absolute superiority.
Liang Teng led 8,000 soldiers to burn down the barracks grain depots of Wuduo County and Dan County, creating chaos.
In the melee, Zhao Ping was killed by Li Tong's general Xiao Wei (Wan), and Sun Lang led his troops to fight with Li Tong for a long time, and finally exhausted his troops and was captured alive.
Li Tong was very excited to win the Qilin Jade Seal from Sun Lang, and he didn't care about the tens of thousands of troops consumed in the fierce battle with Sun Lang and Zhao Ping!
Liang Teng came late, joined Li Tong, and when he saw Sun Lang who was tied up by five flowers, he immediately gritted his teeth.
"Liang Duyou, this official will do what he says!" Li Tong pointed to Sun Lang, "Sun Taishou is here." ”
"Xie Fuzun is complete!" Liang Teng's eyes were red, and he came to Sun Lang and looked at him angrily, "Dog thief, the revenge of killing your father is not the same as Dai Tian, today is your death!"
The voice fell, and a shot pierced Sun Lang.
"Liang Duyou has avenged his father, and we must leave the imperial city as soon as possible and withdraw to Jinzhou. lest the matter of the jade seal reach the ears of others and block my way back to the city!" Li Tong held the jade seal in his hand, his face full of smiles.
"What Fuzun said is extremely true!" Liang Teng picked up his gun and suddenly said, "Xiaguan still has one more thing I want to report to Fuzun, in fact, in addition to the Qilin Jade Seal, I also have a royal treasure...... here."
"Oh, where is it?" Li Tong's eyes lit up.
"Fu Zun helped me avenge my father's revenge, and I will rebuild it!" Liang Teng said respectfully, kneeling down on one knee directly, "From today on, the lower officials will follow the Fu Zun and serve the Mansion as the Lord!
Seeing Liang Teng kneeling down to recognize the master, Li Tong was even more happy, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help: "The treasure is not important to me, and it is the greatest harvest to be able to get the help of the superintendent!"
"Lord, the treasure is here!" When Li Tong was close at hand, Liang Teng put down the spear, slowly took out a brocade box from his arms, and presented it with both hands.
"What is this?" Li Tong took it carefully.
"The lord will know when he opens it!"
Could it be the unicorn accessory that the Emperor Yu carried with him? The unicorn is the highest status divine beast in Dacheng Kingdom, so anything related to the unicorn can only be used by the royal family. Just like the status of the dragon in ancient China, the dragon represents the emperor, and the world unicorn represents the emperor.
With excitement, Li Tong slowly opened the brocade box.
The moment the lid opened, a cold light shot out head-on, hitting the center of the eyebrows.
A bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows, and at the same time, there was a sturdy and sharp metal thorn the size of an iron nail.
Li Tong snorted and fell to the ground, blood flowing black from his forehead.
"My lord!!" The surrounding civil and military officials of Tong County were all looking forward to knowing what kind of treasure was in the brocade box, but the scene in front of them shocked them and was completely unacceptable.
Liang Teng reached out and grabbed the unicorn jade seal into his arms, and at the same time took the gun and turned over on the horse.
"Liang Teng thief!" Li Tong's henchman Xiao Jiao's eyes were red, and he turned over on his horse with a roar, "All the soldiers, kill me!!"
"Signal!" Liang Teng raised his gun to meet the battle, shouting loudly.
The cavalry who followed him immediately took out a special bamboo whistle and blew it at the same time, and the cacophony pierced the night sky.
"Kill ——!!" The army brought by Liang Teng and the soldiers and horses of Tongjun started a melee and fought desperately.
Not long after, the direction of the Tongjun barracks suddenly caught fire, and then countless soldiers and horses appeared in all directions, gongs and drums sounded, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
Xiao Yan was shocked, he didn't expect Liang Teng to hide thousands of troops and completely surround him.
At the moment of distraction, Liang Teng seized the opportunity to knock him off the horse with one shot.
Li Tong's soldiers and horses were defeated and fled in all directions in the night.
When the battle results were counted during the day, half of Liang Teng's 8,000 soldiers and horses remained, and 2,000 Tong County soldiers were captured.
In fact, there were no reinforcements, but Ning Ze arranged for Liang Kai, Liang Jing, Liang Yun, and Liang Shun to take 300 people to hide, and when they heard the signal, they beat gongs and drums in the night, creating the illusion of an ambush on all sides. Coupled with Ning Ze's special poison needle brocade box to kill Li Tong, the opposing army was leaderless in order to achieve a complete victory.
So far, only Liang Teng is left in the four counties of Jinzhou.
After taking revenge, Liang Teng was relieved: "Arsenal Order, what should we do next?"
"Inspector Post, now that our army has only a few thousand men and horses left, it is really embarrassing!" Ning Ze said, "If you are willing to give the Qilin Jade Seal, you can give it to Zhou Yi in exchange for 5,000 soldiers and horses." First, to enrich our army, and second, to let the princes fight and reap the benefits of fishermen!"
"Okay!
