Mo Qian generously handed over the task of capturing the king of Chu to Gao Huijie, and sent Cao Yan to go with him.

The two of them brought their soldiers and horses to the Snake Mountain, where the palace was large-scale, with 800 houses, covering an area almost equivalent to half of Wuchang City.

In the palace, Zhu Huakui hugged his ten-year-old daughter Zhu Fengde and trembled.

Although the palace is grand, the guards in the palace are only more than 1,000 people.

Shi Xu Xueyan, the governor of the Chu Prince's Mansion, personally led 500 officers and soldiers to control the palace town of Chumen.

Gao Huijie and Cao Yan rushed to the outside of the town Chu Gate, Gao Huijie pointed to the gate and said: "General Cao, this is the gate of the Chu Palace, the palace covers an area of thousands of acres, contains millions of taels of gold and silver, and has more than 1,000 guards, how can we fight?" ”

Cao Yan glanced at the city wall of the palace, and saw that the city wall of the palace was more than two zhang high, and it was taller and grander than the city wall of the ordinary palace city.

"This palace is comparable to a big city, I am afraid it will not be easy to break through, come here, prepare a ladder, and storm it!"

Soon his soldiers ran over with dozens of ladders, and Gao Huijie personally led his troops to attack the city in order to show his sincerity in surrendering.

Gao Huijie took the lead, and the thousands of officers and soldiers under his command also knew that the time had come to show loyalty, and if they wanted to gain a firm foothold in the righteous army, they had to show a little credit.

Thousands of soldiers and horses climbed up the walls of the palace, and soon climbed the city walls.

The governor of the palace, Shi Xu Xueyan, personally led troops to the rescue and fought a bloody battle with the rebels who climbed the city wall.

The palace was in full swing, but Mo Qian was sitting on the governor's yamen hall at this time, and there was a high-ranking Huguang official who had been captured alive kneeling in the hall.

Among them, the highest official position captured was Cui Wenrong, a general who defended the city.

Governor Tang Hui and the senior officials of the Sansi Yamen all died in the chaotic battle, and Cui Wenrong, as the chief general of the city guard, knew that the destruction of Wuchang was a foregone conclusion when the city was in turmoil last night.

Cui Wenrong did not go out to arrange for resistance, but ordered the guards to open the door of the house, and ordered the soldiers to lay down their arms and surrender.

There is no need to resist anymore when it comes to this, and any more resistance will only increase the killing.

Cui Wenrong had heard of Mo Qian's name and knew that Mo Qian was different from Zhang Xianzhong, this was a male lord who aspired to the world, and he was much stronger than Zhang Xianzhong.

Surrendering to such a person can save the lives of his soldiers to the greatest extent.

As the commander-in-chief of the First Army, he, a staff general, thought that he still felt deeply guilty about the 10,000 soldiers, and he had been complaining for more than half a year, and his officers and soldiers were complaining all day long, and he almost did not mutiny.

Now that Mo Qian has captured Wuchang, he, a general, finally doesn't have to worry about military salaries.

Cui Wenrong sat in the mansion, waiting for the arrival of the rebels.

When he was tied up and brought to Mo Qian, seeing that Mo Qian was so young, Cui Wenrong was stunned for a moment.

"Who is this general?" Mo Qian looked at Cui Wenrong, who was newly brought in, and asked.

"Dashuai, this is Cui Wenrong, the general of Wuchang, and the guard of Wuchang City!"

"Cui Wenrong?"

Hearing this name, Mo Qian suddenly felt a little familiar, he thought about it carefully, and then remembered that this person had left a mark in the history books.

When Mr. Zhang attacked Wuchang, Cui Wenrong was the only one who knew how to properly resist Zhang Xianzhong, and he also gave advice to the high-ranking officials of Wuchang City at that time.

It's a pity that the Wuchang Supervisor didn't listen to him at that time, but fled with the pusher, which led to Zhang Xianzhong easily breaking through Wuchang City.

This person is still a bit of a general, and in his previous life, he fought against Zhang Xianzhong to the end, and finally died.

For this kind of loyal and righteous person, Mo Qian still admires it in his heart.

Disloyalty and unrighteousness, what is a human being!

Mo Qian got up and went down the hall, came to Cui Wenrong's side, and personally untied the ropes on his body.

"General Cui is a loyal and righteous person, the general's prestige, I have long heard of it, and I can see it today, it is true!"

Cui Wenrong was worried that Mo Qian would directly pull him out and kill him, but he didn't think about it, but he praised him first.

Come and don't be rude!

Cui Wenrong also said to Mo Qian: "I have heard that Corporal Lixian, King Mo of Jiangxi, has the style of a king, and I can see it today, if this is the case, Wenrong deeply admires the king's strategy of using troops!" ”

"Hahaha, General Cui is too modest, I am not as good as everyone in my army, the reason why I can win is just that my subordinates work together and the soldiers are desperate!"

"The king is humble!"

"General Cui, good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord to do things, my wish is to know the general, I don't know what the general wants?"

Cui Wenrong glanced at Mo Qian, and knew in his heart that people had to make their own choices, and if they didn't agree, they would probably have to be pulled out and beheaded on the spot.

Cui Wenrong thought for a while, then knelt down on one knee and said, "Wenrong is willing to serve the king and never give up!" ”

"Good!"

Mo Qian's side has just surrendered Cui Wenrong, and the Chu Wangfu has just announced its attack.

Changshi Xu Xueyan died in battle, Gao Huijie led his troops to take the lead in attacking the royal city, and killed the palace guards when he saw them, leaving no one alive.

The army attacked the palace of the royal city, and just grabbed Zhu Huakui and was sitting paralyzed in the hall with his ten-year-old daughter in his arms.

In the past, the King of Chu, who was high in the sky, was full of horror in his eyes at this moment, and Zhu Fengde, who was only ten years old, would also cry in fear.

Only the princess on the side was calm, as if she had already known that this would be the end.

Seeing Zhu Huakui, Gao Huijie led his troops to surround them, stepped forward and said coldly: "Lord Wang, the last general will give you a greeting!" ”

Zhu Huakui saw Gao Huijie wearing the armor of the imperial court's official army, and was immediately surprised: "You are an official army?" ”

"Yesterday was, today is no more, Lord Wang, the last general has surrendered to King Mo, today I am here to borrow your head!"

After that, Gao Huijie ordered his subordinates to take Zhu Huakui out, pull him outside the hall and kneel, and with a knife, Zhu Huakui's head fell to the ground.

"Order, up and down the palace, no chickens and dogs will be left!"

"Wait!" As soon as Gao Huijie gave the order, Cao Yan spoke out to stop him.

When Gao Huijie saw it, he quickly ordered his subordinates to stop first, turned around and trotted to Cao Yan, and asked with a flattering smile: "General Cao, is there anything wrong?" ”

Cao Yan pointed to the maid servant in the palace and said: "Kill the king of Chu, the rest of the people are not allowed to kill, the king is benevolent, he doesn't like to kill too much, the general can now take the head of the king of Chu to the king to ask for merit, and the palace can be handed over to me to take over!" ”

The corners of Gao Huijie's mouth couldn't help twitching when he heard this, but he quickly realized that he was now a general.

Generals have always been inferior.

Gao Huijie knew the current affairs very well, and immediately retreated with all his soldiers, and when he left the palace, looking at the magnificent palace, Gao Huijie sighed in his heart, he knew that the millions of gold and silver in the palace had nothing to do with him.

Gao Huijie took Zhu Huakui's head to the governor's yamen to meet Mo Qian.

When Mo Qian saw Zhu Huakui's head, his heart was not shocked.

"General Gao has done a good job, I heard that there has been a lack of sound in the general's camp for half a year, but is there such a thing?"

Gao Huijie nodded and said: "This is true, since the winter of last year, my brothers have never received a penny of silver military salary, and the soldiers' families are almost unable to open the pot!" ”

"Well, I promised before, after the city is broken, I will make up the military salary for you, General Gao can lead the troops back to the camp first, wait for two or three days, and when I finish taking care of the things in the city, I will immediately pay everyone the military salary, okay?"

"The last general will take over the four thousand brothers under his command, thank you to the king!"

"General Gao has worked hard, you can surrender, it is a great achievement, you continue to lead the soldiers, your subordinates will be merged into my battalion first, but my righteous army has strict military regulations, I hope the general can strictly control the soldiers under his subordinates, and must not harass the people.

There are dozens of large and small military regulations in my righteous army, three major disciplines and eight points of attention, and nineteen beheadings, and I will send someone to inform the general and the brothers in the battalion when I turn around.

As for the military salary, I will pay it on time, of course, I will not force people to make it difficult, if there are people who do not want to join the army, they can also take the road fee home! ”

Gao Huijie had just surrendered and was not familiar with the rebels.

However, looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the military discipline of this righteous army is extremely strict, and he and his brothers will have to be careful in the future.

After chatting for a while, Gao Huijie returned to his camp with his own soldiers.

When passing by the street, seeing the extremely serious military discipline of the soldiers of the righteous army, who had not committed any offence against the people, Gao Huijie couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the court can't beat the king, an army like this, wherever it hits, the people will like it!" ”

Gao Huijie is in the camp of the official army, and he knows the corruption of the military discipline of the imperial army best.

They fought against the rogues, and the people did not want to see them wherever they went.

Some officers and men in the army sometimes even kill good people and take meritorious deeds, and this kind of thing is not once or twice.

Seeing the appearance of the rebels on the street, Gao Huijie couldn't help but turn his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "In the future, you have to pick up your tail and be a man, and you must not do anything that violates the law and discipline. ”

"Yes, the little one knows!"

The group returned to the camp, and as soon as they entered the camp gate, several officers came up and complained.

"General, we are too much of a loss, this Chu Wangfu was brought down by us, why don't we let the brothers go in and rob it? I don't know how much gold and silver treasure there is in the palace of the king of Chu, which is enough for the brothers to make a fortune! ”

The one who spoke was a general.

"Yes, General, in order to fight the palace, more than 300 brothers died, and the palace was defeated, and we were driven out, what is this called?"

Another Qianhu also complained unhappily.

Only Bao Shouzhong, who had seen Mo Qian before, and Jia Peiguo, who was strongly advocating surrender, did not speak.

Gao Huijie glanced at the four of them and said, "Do you think I don't want to get a handful of oil and water?" What are we, it is to surrender troops, the wealth of the Chu Palace, how can we covet it, I just came back from King Mo, the king said, we will be paid in two or three days, you have been honest with me recently, look at the brothers below, don't cause trouble for me.

Our new master is not as strict as before, and the military discipline is very strict! ”
